Update: We’ve done a couple more dry-runs on the maintenance, and it’s looking more like we need two hours for this one. I updated the original message with the new time estimate, too.

That’s my usual WaniKani time, guess I’ll clear out my reviews before bed on Thursday and get around to clearing our my Bunpro reviews instead that morning.
Hope all goes well, database maintenance sucks but it’s important.

So I have a question:
What happens to our review queues during this time?
Do they get pushed out by two hours (like vacation mode) where the clock stops for the time the system is offline?
Or is the clock still running and it’ll just seem like I didn’t come by to do any reviews during the two hours?
(Sorry in advance if someone already asked the question.) 
2 hours? What’ll I do with all that time, will I have to… g-go o-outside?

There is no clock. Reviews have a timestamp at which they come available. If you have items which should become due during that time, you’ll be able to do them as soon as WK is back online, no other reviews will be affected.

I’m assuming the second
The second. It’s technically possible to push them out by two hours, but that could extend the downtime even more, so…

You explain things so well that I could hear you talk all day.

Bingo.
We try and do our database maintenance without having to take the app down. Usually this means longer, drawn out migrations instead of the more direct route which usually includes table locking, et cetera.
Unfortunately, in this upcoming maintenance we are unable to do that. We are upgrading the version of the database server and there are some features we would like to have which require creating a new db and copying the data over. And with all the review data we have to copy… heh.

Would I be correct in assuming the forums will remain online during the maintenance?

My first fast level was level 41, but 3 days after I started, more radicals/kanji were added to it… Fast level gone.
Tomorrow I hope to be level 43, a fast level again… then maintenance is coming…
You really hate me
