I noticed this a few days ago too.  What's also weird is that links to 
pages inside the database also end up taking you to the server's site. 
(Doing a page search on Yahoo for a film person's name has usually picked 
up the JMDB page for that person. The search still brings that up, but 
clicking on the link just brings you to the same server's page).

The man who singlehandedly made the JMDB is Nomura Yusuke (????).  
He's also active on Aozora Bunko (which makes public on the net public 
domain literature--Nomura has typed up some on film, such as some of 
Yamanaka Sadao's writings).  But does anyone know his e-mail so we can 
contact him about this?
