Doug, comparing to a time multiple weeks prior would be more greatly affected by general fluctuation than something like the forums being down. I looked into the last five weeks and it was approximately the same as last week but had gone down by about 50 from about a month ago. So there definitely wasn't an increase.
It might be possible to check if spawning increases on certain days of the week by using modulus. Let's see...
For the last 700 days:
Day mod 7 / Spawns
0 7280 3rd lowest
1 7192 2nd lowest
2 7161 Lowest
3 7416
4 7836
5 7322
6 7395
At the moment 0 is Thursday, so 1 is Friday, 2 is Saturday, 3 is Sunday, 4 is Monday, 5 is Tuesday and 6 is Wednesday but since the database has been down and times have changed many times over, it's not exactly reliable.
For the last 350 days:
0 3640 3rd lowest
1 3701
2 3474 Lowest
3 3557 2nd lowest
4 3773
5 3766
6 3774
(I'm doing these in multiples of seven for a hopefully understandable reason.)
For the last 175 days:
0 1591 2nd lowest
1 1725
2 1580 Lowest
3 1633 3rd lowest
4 1742
5 1786
6 1733
For the last 70 days:
0 559 2nd lowest
1 614
2 544 Lowest
3 598 3rd lowest
4 689
5 639
6 617
For the last 35 days:
0 230 Lowest
1 326
2 298 3rd lowest
3 304
4 390
5 301
6 282 2nd lowest
There certainly seems to be some sort of a pattern.
