I wondered if anyone knew… other than "Because Col Needham's a jerk" kind of answers…
Does anyone know why ALL CHARACTER LINKS, and I mean EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER NAME LINKED UP…
Why they are all linked up as if there were a photo or quote of/from the character?

Strikes me as a desperate attempt to get more people to contribute to the website. I love that even people in uncredited bit roles have the picture/quote link attributed to their names.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

I was just clicking around and it does ask you to contribute info for the characters if there isn't any info yet, like they want the users to do all the work. This Col guy is a jerk, I'm telling you.

Yep, that's it. Without users contributing info the IMDb is dead in the water.

It looks like they are changing the whole site design soon, so it could have something to do with that.
