It looks really dumb, can't you just add it to the first post?
I do it because my bios end up being long as fugg and I don't feel like scrolling through all that crap every time I want to edit my thread tracker. I'm sure a lot of folks do it for similar reasons.
Yes, you can put it all in the first post.
But people like to make things pretty. Too much stuff in one post makes it seem "cluttered" and such. So they use multiple posts to split out different sections of their char bios like threads, factory/codex creations, etc etc.
