Sorry, but we do maintenance when our site is the slowest. That is 10pm - 3am GMT -8. PST. California time.
That happens to be the middle of the day elsewhere in the world, and 3 people here complaining.
If we did it at 3pm our time 300 people would copmlain.
We want to eventually reduce the time back to 2 hours a week once a week, but for now we need to do this. The result will be a faster site all week long, and more reliable. We're cleaning up the DB of tens of millions of records it doesnt' need and that means a better DB the rest of the time. If we didnt do it eventually the site would slow to a crawl and nobody would use it. It has to be done, and we're doing it at the time that inconviences the fewest people.
