Too big for our own good
Well, we've done it now. We've outgrown our server again. 
Except this time it's harder to fix than just plugging in more storage space. We're bumping our heads on the ceiling as far as RAM goes and we wouldn't mind a CPU power boost, and those are harder to come by unfortunately.
I'm currently looking for any possible way to slim things down or merge things together so we keep on going without having our costs go up. I've got a couple of leads to chase down and I'll let you guys know what happens.
If you can, disabling your adblocker for Heart2Heart would be massively appreciated. Right now we're sliding just barely under the line of breaking even and all it would take is a small push to get us where we need to be. Thank you!

Re adblocker: neither my phablet or desktop has them, yet h2h reports them as present. Using Chrome on Android or Firefox on Win 10.

Flipped it off. The Ad blocker and not the site...
I would be willing to throw some beans in the bean pot to keep things going smoothly.

Re: Too big for our own good
Thank you guys all so much!
Copying this over from the Spring update topic, I made a few tweaks to help ease the growing pains a bit until we can afford an upgrade:
In extreme circumstances, the site will now sacrifice a little bit of speed in order to keep the video processing going.
If at all possible, streams will be copied over, completely skipping parts of the video processing process. That makes things instantly faster, and higher quality.
Because of the speed-for-stability tradeoff and other optimizations, it's not a super desperate NEED-IT-YESTERDAY situation. We definitely still need an upgrade ASAP, but the site can now power through anything we throw at it until then.

Re: Too big for our own good
I've got my eye on a suitable server, but it's with another hosting service that I've never dealt with before. I'll do some more research and we might end up migrating the site there some time in the next few months if I don't find anything that turns me off of it.
