You don't understand;

The incredibly large topics are incredibly hard for the server to process. The gigantic pile of small topics are easy to manage. Deleting the small ones, if I am correct, would change nothing as long as there's really big ones.

I assume they only did this after a large amount of attempts otherwise, as they seem to know the plight you speak of; after all, anything that dense has to have a lot of information in it, even if people try to make it spammy.

Think of it this way: Is it easier to move the barrel crammed to maximum capacity (WoTs) or the one with a little bit at the bottom (most topics)?

There is the remote chance this is April Fools, but server crashes don't sound like a Shane april fools to me.
