While I applaud the cleanup work (much needed in many threads), I don't think you should remove the main ANN post. That's the basis for the whole post in the first place. Also, the main ANN post is the most useful reference for many older projects in terms of what they promised. I'd hate for this to be removed so it cannot be referenced later.
What's up with the @bitcoin forum suddenly deleting posts here 5 years later

Should just lock this topic, it's a dead project lol
The topic gets cleaned of all its spam and zero-value posts, and it is a part of a more vast
move I started in December 2021, which consisted in cleaning all topics full of junk mentioned it in
Rikafip's thread. This topic did not use bumping services but it also contained many useless posts and
Rikafip found it in Feb 2022. I
started working on cleaning this thread a few days ago and,
with Welsh's help, we managed together to delete
199 pages of posts. The process will continue until the rest of the topic is clean.
was wondering as well with 6 post deleted. recently though ive read a thread about what OP did to this ANN thread like deleting the first post. it doesnt make sense why ours are deleted as well. something is not right.
someone's been deleting posts from this topic as crazy, I've got like 10 posts deleted over the last 12 hours
All zero-value posts are deleted, no matter who wrote them.
