What are my options...

Alrighty so I figured I would post a thread here since its been a few weeks since I've taken any action and nothing has changed with Google.

I started a new hobby project last month that has taken off quite well, (already around 300k site rank on Alexa)

It is a forum site running Xenforo in the adult niche.

My domain name for the purpose of this post is MyForum.com

The other two domains I will mention in this post are Asshole1.com and asshole2.com

-

So the other day I am bored waiting for my GF to get off work and I'm on my phone and I decided to Google my site without the .com just to see what it looked like.

I google "MyForum" and I'm the top ranking result. Cool!

Results 2, 3, and 4 were just links to my social networking profiles. As I got passed result 4 I start to notice posts on my forums have been indexed. However it is NOT my site.

Asshole1.com shows as the domain name, however the title and description of the result are from MY site.

I click the link and immediately get a security warning. After choosing to proceed and ignore the warning I stumble upon an exact clone of my forum. It is exactly the same.

The same is true for Asshole2.com It is the exact same thing just a different domain name.

BOTH of the domain names are completely unrelated to my niche. But both are essentially mirroring my site and stealing my rankings for specific keywords.

My site is not even monetized so I don't understand the purpose of this other then maybe I pissed somebody off?

I also noticed in google search console these two sites had given me around 1200-1500 backlinks. I disavowed them a week and a half ago however they still show in search console.

I also reported the sites to GoDaddy's abuse department but have yet to hear back.

What are my options here?

I'm pissed, but its just a hobby site thats not making any money so I'm not TOO upset...but still would like to resolve this somehow.

I'm curious, you say the sites are exact duplicates of yours -- do you add a canonical tag to your pages? If they are stealing your exact code and pasting it onto their pages, they would also copy (and not change) the canonical tag, which would tell Google that your page is the "main copy".

file a complain to google and other search engines also, not sure if its called a dcma

Yikes! That's really annoying. You can always try contacting Google support for this one, mate.
