| - | 667 Dark Avenue Forum began it's life as ''The Lemony Snicket Informer'' on June 22nd, 2002. The site was created by current admin, [http://asoue.proboards11.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=admin Tragedy] as an offshoot of the popular UE.net site started the previous year. The site was created in an effort to aid the ever-growing fanbase of the popular [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Series_of_Unfortunate_Events A Series of Unfortunate Events] by Lemony Snicket. It became a haven for the theories, however crazed, of dedicated fans, as well as fan-made ASOUE material including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan-fiction fan-fiction] ,fan-art and fan-games. The site also offered it's users an area for socialization and boards for matters Non-Asoue related. It started with a limited fan-base in it's first year, but by July 2003 it had obtained 300 members and quickly grew, reaching 500 members by late September, and it's 667th on November 7th of that year. During that year the site also acquired members that became serious assets to the forum, obtaining heavy post counts, and a great deal of respect among other members. These members include [http://asoue.proboards11.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=dupin Dupin] ,[http://asoue.proboards11.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=pandora Pandora] , and[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_moderator#Division_of_power Global Moderator] [http://asoue.proboards11.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=swans Swans].

| - | By February 2004, 667 had achieved it's 1000th member, and the following April, it's 100,000th post in it's boards. The site grew rapidly from this point experiencing several moments of digress before hitting the hammer full speed once more, usually around the release of the next cronicle in the Snicket series. Members came and went with the forum's age, but by the end of 2005 the site had 5000 members at it's disposal, quickly making itself into a tough adversary for rival forum Unfortunate Events.com. The future of 667 now that the release of the final book book in the ASOUE series has passed is unclear, but it is certain the forum will remain one of the greatest areas for the Snicket-dedicated on the World Wide Web.
