I was quite upset and reported the incident to said forums' administrator, telling them that if the plagiarizing continues, I will report them to the hosting company that hosted them. It stopped after a few days. I'm not sure if the hosting company would have done anything about it or not, but the threat seemed to have scared the admin...
I know the feeling. I had to deal with a similar situation a while back, and it's a frustrating thing to deal with for sure.
I've never really understood the purpose in plagiarism with forum content anyway. Google heavily penalizes content that it already recognizes, so it doesn't do much to bring additional traffic to a website.
