If you prefer, you can think of that as 4:30pm EST, 5:30am JST, or 20:30 UTC. We are budgeting 30 minutes, but think it will be faster than that. 
As usual, we’ll post updates during the maintenance window and let everyone know how it’s going. We’ll also post an update here when it’s all done so you can dive back into reviews.
Dun dun dun!
preparations for eGoooott festival?
Any hint what the downtime is for? 
EtoEto 
Some super boring database maintenance. 
Sure, sure…
IT’S A CLUE!
Super boring database maintenance right before April first? Super boring my bum!
I don’t believe it, definetly something to do with clues and durtle heaven, it’s close to the end of the timer, nothing tells us what will happen, there are 35 letters, 5 spaces, one dot and one emoji, which contains 2 double dots which contain 4 dots in total, and 14 letters, if we do the maths, 14/2 is 7, 35-5+1+1 is 32, and the 4 dots are april, BUT you use a joker card and add one point to the mix, THERE IS AN i in maintenance which has a dot, so 4-1=3, so on THE 32nd OF MARCH ! Which is April first !
You won’t get us so easily !
amazing
Hm, boring database maintenance? 
I myself think there may be deeper meaning to this. I guess we’ll see when it comes.
Only on wanikani you can see a hype for a scheduled maintenance.
Don’t worry, we’ll get you the help you need.
good point! i totally forgot about the first
So 4:30am AWST? Then I don’t need to worry.
Can we get an option to close the giant pink notification messages when we get them? Like after I’ve read it once, it’d be nice to be able to get rid of it; it’s always annoying having those huge messages there for so long.
Maybe just have it pop up again the day before the scheduled time?
Thanks.
Database maintenance is never boring, or is it just me?
It’s pretty boring riiight until that moment it becomes a crisis. Then suddenly everyone is interested!
