See, the cast listing ISN'T supposed to be active characters only, it's a
listing of the character that have appeared throughout the WHOLE
ShadowTalk storyline, from the day we went online through the present.
Thus if foobar appeared eight months ago, and somebody was reading the
logs, they could quickly check to see who FooBar was.

Besides, i don't ahve time to try to move 'inactive' characters to
another list.
