That was the problem. People just randomly popped up and claimed a character. Half of the people (and I realize I'm using hyperbole) who did that haven't even been active on the site. They just choose a character, make one blog, and then never revisit the character again. Not only does that make things even more unnecessarily crowded, but it robs someone else of the chance to do the role justice.

This is not a perfect system by any means, but it's better than doing nothing, IMO.
