How do I force another website to get rid of my stolen content?
The admin of thedamnblog.com informed me that bulletinboardforum.com took my page and put it on theirs with no permission and credit what so ever. I can't find an email address for the site; the only contacts are to submit a link and for marketing, and doing a whois shows the site registered through a proxy, so there's no email address there.
How should I go along with this? Should I threaten legal action? Should I use the "send a link" link?

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, etc.

Take screenshots NOW and do so regularly until the problem is resolved.
And check out this site. There's a lot of help available there.
Then do what ubernostrum said.

Do a port scan and find some hackers.
