Looks like it just might kind of have the same name, but the theme and boards are all different.
 
Even if it was copied word for word there is nothing we can do - you would need to speak to the forum owner yourself.

I did, I own the clan and website but they are advertising on my forum to switch to this "other website" they even said to advertise on my website so I banned them. I talked to the owner, Boom. And they couldn't copy my forum exactly because I made the admin into member so he couldn't see my HTML, themes, etcetera. Also they stole most of my members, therefor, lets say they got closed down, if I knew I would unban almost everyone but Boom.

There isn't anything we can do about this.   We don't get involved in things between forums.  You'll need to handle this with them.
