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)?

No, I understand your point, but I'm telling you, we can find more little topics that no one cares about (basically a majority of topics from oh, let's say 05 on) that would equal the amount of WoTs deleted.
May take more work, but I would have gladly helped.
