Performance Issues

That seems slightly confusing as lukz mentions here that it is not a financial issue?

AcoustID downtime

Sorry for not replying, Rob, I was super busy with fixing things. This is purely a technical problem, not a financial one, which is kind of how I got into the situation. So far, I was always able to fix things just by renting more servers, but that is now no longer effective and AcoustID needs bigger changes. The service is now partially restored, but heavily rate-limited at least for the next week or so, until I manage to separate some parts of the backend.
