Visitors that won't go back ever since your tubes were down.
My site worked the whole time just the custom premium features were disabled. My design colors reverted and some template features too.

Once the license came up I refreshed the cache on plugin and it went back to normal. My stats show similar traffic compared to the week before.

Lucky. I didn't keep the WP script on my new project though (the domain I paid $4k for) I can't afford this with this new project.
