Does anyone know anything about Salsaben.com ?

L

lucretia

Salsaben.com has been down for over a week now. I wonder whats happening. Any rumours?

My guess is that salsaben.com is is placed in Israel. I wounder if it is the war thats stopped the site or just lack of time.....

The server is placed in Haifa, Israel.

I hope it was shutdown in advance to prevent it from beeing bombed. (I guess there hasn't been that many bombs in Haifa yet, too far from Lebanon.)

I'm missing this great website! :cry:

It's been down before though. So maybe one day we'll find it's back up and all is well.

Yes I know. But this time it is longer than ever. I guess it is three weeks know....the abstinence is getting bigger and bigger. I fear something bad has happened.

Hi Lucretia,

I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the bombings, i'm worried about Ben, but i have seen him online on MSN sporadically but he's not responding to emails, most likely because his whole server email and all are offline. I wouldn't worry about it too much I'm sure it's just the current situation in Israel, i just hope Ben is OK. Anyone with any info please post here!

good be that they closed the server coz the stuff wasnt that legal 100%...
but good to see that salsa hits sweden and india:)
 
From what I heard, the server overheated and all data was lost.
Benny is working on fixing it / finding a new one / recovering whatever is possible.
Not related to the war, but hey, thanks for thinking 'bout us :-)
 
i prayed that nothing happened to ben and his family.

for those of you that don't like his stuff whether you think it's legal or not, think of it as a way to advertise your local band. how else would there be a global exposure to your favorite local band without the extra cost? would you be able to provide that cost at $19.99 per CD or whatever the cost is? i know what you're thinking, you don't agree. i understand you are entitled to your own opinion and so do i.

for those that can't buy all the LPs in the world, nor have the time to convert all the LPs into a CD format, this is a great way to get to those musicians. there's no way you are going to be able to get Kiko Fuentes, Quique or Kike Rosa(s), or Nelson Feliciano in your local store, but here you can definitely can!!!

there's no other site as awesome as benny's. once again, may all your family be in great health!
 
New Salsaben Site

I do not feel ripped because it was not quite legal to download the songs. But he did not tell his old customers about the new website and his plans and that is not o.k. for me. Fortunately I only booked half a year and did not pay for one year in advance.

Yesterday I sent Ben an email to his new website and asked him about salsaben. But he did not answer until now.

I will post a message in case of Bens reply.

thanks for ur feedback

i've been w/ben since the beginning and that's exactly what i meant by "ripped off" the fact that he started a new site as if he was running away from something and was not honest with his customers. sort of "take the money and run". legal or not, he did wrong. worse yet, seems like his new site was started early this year, basically during the time he kept asking for proof that one had signed up and paid up front - he did that 3 times with me anyway. i too sent him an email but i have not rec'd a response. i wish him the best. guess there was a lesson to be learned. thanks again!
 
Hi folks!!!
Everyone of you had to be aware, that the money could be lost easy,
because the thing was not too legal...or not???
Now...stop complaining about Ben!
I do not feel betrayed...I think of the many many good salsa songs
I have...thanks to Ben!
I am sure, that he did not make anything on purpose...!!!
Once my money was lost on the way and ...no problem!!!
So,...let's hope that the new site will be successful and that step by step
the salsa site we loved all (or not?) will return!!!
