That's most likely a cron job that they have no idea how it works or how to modify it or even how to turn it off.
Yes, GJ is maintained, in a fashion, by people who don't know much about it. I seriously doubt anybody actually groks the entire code base any more. If a really truly serious problem turns up, the barely trained monkeys that operate it are out of their depth and reandomly tweak the few parameters they can tweak - hence the icon cut.
But that's not a measure which would actually improve the state of the data base. Especially as people are just restricted from using it - unless we delete the icons ourselves, the images and (what's more important) the data base records linking the image files are all still there, not easing the load on the system at all.
But, as I have found out, it is pointless to explain to or enquire with the GJ people. What people there are know nothing.
