spermshack down for a week...
 

no one can get a hold of him.. I feel bad for his site.. what if the guy is laying in a hospital bed.. his site is dropping down the tube..

no way he would be dumb enough to just let the site die.

anyone know anything i don't?

i think hes just letting the site go..

took him a month and half to update it about a month ago..

had the same listing for 1 1/2 months straight

Thats pretty gay.

He could have gotten allot of money for that site.

Kinda like taking a brand new car and driving it off a bridge for fun.

I could name 10 ppl willing to buy the site, why let it die.

he never updated often cause he made all the galleries on the site.. if im correct.

well if you have the money, you could do that..

but he worked on this site for 6+ years..

hard to part from something you worked at for 6 years.. like me and this biz.

I dont care how rich you are.. $50K is not worth throwing away.

ask coin, maybe hes spoken to him

I heard he is partying to much. I hope I'm wrong...I wish him well. When he started off in the amateur market he was pushing my wife's site and did very well with us.

Looks like it's back up :)

and once again the site is forgotten to be renewed and has expired.
something bad has to happened to him...

lol, was wondering why this was way up here. yeah that guy just doesn't seem to care.

Notice the date of the last downtime, and then this one. Almost a year on the dot. I hope he renews it for the next 10 years so that he doesn't have to worry about down times yearly.

I always wanted to trade with that site, I've never gotten a reply from him :helpme:

Hate to say it but with that site being down and deprived gives us a great opportunity to jump in there and show each of our own customers we can have better than SpermShack

it looks like its expired domain and someone has bought it already :error
this would be probably one of the most valuable domains, which were forgotten to renew, I have ever seen on my eyes...

Yep it seems it is hijacked.Strange how is hijacked so fast.Well i would recommend present trade partners to drop trade with hijacker.

You have to know Ben to understand why it's not completely out of line. I think he's gone off the deep end this time.

It just looks like its going to an enom landing page as it just expired on 11-3. He can still renew it as its still at least a month away from deletion.

I head he went off of the deep end and started doing alot of meth and coke. That sucks because the traffic there has always treated us decent as far as TGP taffic goes. Another flake. Whatcha gonna do?

I think there are some method to hijack domain before it's expired normaly.When i go over my ip adress i still see parked page,but when i go over web proxy(in this case http://hidemyass.com) i see something which doesnt look like spermshack,and when i check source code i see loaded adbrite java script code.Could be some kind of dns poisoning but again who knows.

So is "going off the deep end" a recurring theme with big TGP guys? I can think of another that ran into similar problems... that's really too bad.

Wow, that is just incredible.

hopefully he used revshare ...

Lol, you are making it much more complicated than it is. The domain expired on 11-3, there was no hijacking. Enom is simply sending it to a generic parked page until the domain is renewed or dropped, this happens all the time when people forget to renew their domain.

That sucks

Ben is pretty much a fucking loser.


Seriously.


A site like that and all you do is sit around smoking crack?


Ok. So you have a PAINFULLY plain looking woman come take over your life, dress you, give you a bowl haircut, then you get both of you guys hooked on crack, move to a nice place and then decide "Oh, let's smoke crack".

I stayed over at Ben's place as a teenager and introduced him to a couple of chicks, rode around in his sweet Nova SS before he was in adult and he was a really nice guy. I'm still friends with his ex girlfriend who is also wondering what the FUCK happened to the guy we knew.


Ben seriously may just be the most fucked up junkie I've ever know. Yeah, I'll talk shit about him now for sure, the guy can't even be bothered to give his highschool chum D a call or an ICQ even when that guy genuinely cares what happens to him and isn't looking for a traffic hand out.


Fuck it. When people go down that path and shun everyone, you can only eventually hope their heart explodes from all the crack.

meth has that affect on people!

one thing i can't understand is why he got rid of all his good sponsors! was he high when he did his updates?

the last time i looked at his site he switched wifey's world out of spot#2 for tight teela...WTF?

Don't get me wrong, I've made countless thousands from Spermshack...



...




I'm just not against calling a spade a spade when this guy has had it SO EASY, and yet flushes his life and all of his friends down the toilet over hardcore drugs and the control freak women he involves himself with.


What happened to the passion for muscle cars?

What happened to snickering and laughing while doing a burnout or donuts?

Ben turned into a pussy whipped drug addicted loser. Maybe if people told him more often what a loser he was becoming, instead of kissing his ass for traffic, he would have never slid into a world of shit.

it's the drugs! same story, different guy....

shit that s sad...

Joust incredible :(

Sad to hear. He actually gave me some of the best advice back in the day when he was pushing us major sales and im still using it to this day. He advised me on a way to redo my tour of my best selling site and the sales doubled instantly. Sad to hear that hes having problems despite the fact that he dropped us over a switch to nats. Cant imagine letting that domain go.

Sad to hear what is happening to him. I wish him the best.

the sad part is how hard it is to kick the meth addiction. it's pretty much all downhill from there:helpme

Sigh... what a domain to take over.... talk about a fucking payday! Dammit!

The saddest part is that the guy has 0 actual friends that give a shit about him, only people who are circling like vultures to take over his site and traffic.


Real friends don't let people just throw their life and business away like this. How NOBODY has gone to his house and forced him to renew that domain and get clean is yet another example of successful webmasters who have everything and piss it away on drugs or another vice and are surrounded by friends who only like them for the money they have.


Think about it, the guy could open up a charity and make such a difference in people's lives.

Could goto any school and study any field he wanted.

Could travel the world.

Could buy the hottest car, strip it, and race it on any racetrack in the world.

Could heli-ski the freshest powder.

Could buy a boat and sail around the world.

Could just hire a team of employees, settle down, and raise a family.

Imagine that, a life without limits, the world is your playground, and instead of taking advantage of it, you do nothing but become a fucking loser junkie.


How do you let your blessed life turn to complete shit?

site is toast. bye bye traffic. its done.

Sad to hear that but you're 200% true :/

this is a sad thread.... if someone knows this guys please try to help him im sure it will pay off in the long term....

Sad shit... you would think a site worth $50,000 lump sum and several hundred over years would warrant more than 1 year of domain renewals...

I still cannot believe nobody has gone to his house to check on him.


Very sad.


There are plenty of local webmasters who know his address and haven't done a thing!

I havent heard of his site since im not big on the tgp scene but if what the guy below is saying the site was worth $50k, then how would he be able to tour the world, open a charity and whatnot on a site probably making less than $10k/month??

site is worth more that 50k. hope he's not dead.

You need a hug busta

That site could do 1 update a month and make 50k / month.
