I'm terribly sorry for bumping this thread! But I'm currently rereading The Beatrice Letters, and in "LS to BB #2," Snicket is discussing his dislike of Olaf and mentions an "incident with the bottle of ink." Could young Olaf have something to do with the missing ink?

So Groge and I have talked about it, and we think it's a great idea to make a page on the Lemony Snicket Wiki for the forum! The only thing is, there is a lot of information to write, so we're going to need lots of help writing it. (And I've only been here a few weeks, so I am pretty much useless in that aspect.) If you want to help out, you can you can add info to this thread, which will eventually be transferred over to the Wiki. You don't have to be a Wiki member to edit, but we could always use more volunteers to add their knowledge

I did some research to see if any real seahorse statues were stolen. This is what I found: In Maryland in 2004, as part of Calvert County's 350th anniversary celebration, Annmarie Garden and Calvert County schools, both public and private, began a collaborative project whose main goal was to raise money for the art programs in the schools there. And so, the Seahorses By the Bay Public Art Project began: 25, six foot fiberglass seahorse statues were molded at Calvert Marine Museum and designed and decorated by students in Calvert County schools. Most of these original seahorse statues were to be auctioned off at Annmarie Garden’s annual Halloween event to benefit the schools. On June 25 of the same year, however, one of the statues, painted by Calvert Middle School students, was stolen in broad daylight from the front of a Prince Frederick Restaurant. (It was noted that the art bandits most likely used Route 2-4 for their getaway.) The statue, appropriately named “Starfish,” was painted in the style of Van Gogh’s “Starry, Starry Night.” In mid-August, two days after police offered an amnesty deal to the thieves, the statue was found, dumped in the hedges outside the Calvert Middle School cafeteria. Dadeland Mall, in Miami, FL, once displayed a seahorse fountain. In the late 70s, however, the mall was doing some cleaning and remodeling, and temporarily removed the statue by cutting it in half. Crooks broke in and stole the statue. Although the bottom half was found in a nearby canal, the head was never found. The locations of both halves are currently unknown.

Did any of the other photo URLs have such coincidences?

Hey Groge! Glad to hear that you're coming back! I'm entirely willing to make you an admin. Despite your absence, you seem dedicated! Indeed vandalism is pointless, but Wikia makes it really easy to clean things up, so that's a good thing. blakegriplingph – Have you by chance made a Wiki account? I would totally consider it! Also, thanks for all of the welcome messages! (Sorry this reply took so long, aha. Things have been crazy.)

Well, I recently took over the Lemony Snicket Wiki ( snicket.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page), and in the process of cleaning it up, I came across a Links page with a link to your forum. After checking it out over here, I thought it would be good to keep the link there Oh, and if anyone wants to help out on the Wiki, they are more than welcome to! It's a little lacking in information, and could use a bit of grammar cleanup. With all due respect, Madison

Hello fellow Volunteers!
My name is Madison, and I recently kinda took over the Lemony Snicket Wiki (http://snicket.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page), but it's a bit lacking in information, proper grammar, and a community. So I thought I might reach out to you guys, to see if anyone else would like to join!
I've decided to dedicate myself to the project of cleaning it up, because it really is a great series. And with Who Could That Be At This Hour? coming out in October, I figured it might be a good project to get working on while we wait!
With all due respect, M.
