It was a combination of things.

We decided that too much granularity was likely to make it harder for people to know where to put their threads (which would then require a moderator to fix), and also we saw that forums had maybe one or two active threads in general which meant that anywhere you looked the site looked pretty idle. Tightening up the forum index also just made it look better.

So all in all, the decision was a win.
