  Have they stolen any of your content? I didn’t see any content that was the same. Or are you just talking about them using the name clubjn?

  Did you *SEARCH* BEFORE posting? Obviously: not.

  You think volunteers: can deal with SITE “copyright”/infringement/blocking???

  Impatience/top-posting: will get attention, but not the kind you want.

  You can try lodging a complaint here. Give the URL’s for both sites and explain what is happening.

  By the way, I Googled “clubjn” and there are quite a number of them out there:

  clubjn.forumotion.net

  clubjn.freeforumit.com

  clubjn.ourtoolbar.com

  clubjn.ca.gs/

  You will be busy.

  And from looking at network solutions, I or someone else could register clubjn.org, clubjn.biz, clubjn.us, clubjn.info, clubjn.co.uk, clubjn.net, or others.

  There’s really nothing you can do about it because
  there site is about different stuff then yours is.
  So technically they can use the site name plus
  if you want to get technical there URL is different
  than yours because of the .wordpress.com part of there
  URL…

  Do a Google search on a popular website you’ll
  see the same name in many different URL formats.
