Someone just ripped the theme I designed for my forum www.RuneGear.net. This is the first time that it's happened to me, what should I do?

Blackdust.net ripped it.

DMCA. Providing you have proof you created it.

How would I go about providing proof I created it?

Original psd images etc...

I contacted the owner and got it removed.

That was fast...usually people would say they won't remove it...or won't respond...weird!

That's not my experience. Most people have hosts that will respect a DMCA notice and most webmasters don't want their host to take them down.
