# There's still progress to be made in the field of [[OBD|binary hacking]]. Says geyser: "I'll try and make a TODO table showing whether a file format is 100% understood or not, whether the layout needs improving or not, etc." He also reminds us that we have some nice [[:Category:Headers and footers|header and footer templates]] to produce a consistent look-and-feel for the OBD pages.

# Okay, I'm just repeating what geyser wrote here, because I don't quite understand it at the moment:"'''Offsets''' -- They're tedious to add, but they're generally more helpful than the color map when actually viewing/editing a file. They will be less and less useful as we provide thorough [[OBD:OUP|OUP]] struct defs for people to view the binaries with. (hm, maybe we should complete the struct defs with color maps, to ^^) Offsets are defined with respect to the start-of-file unless mentioned otherwise (usually for a good reason)." So there you have it.

==Recent but not current events==
After the events decribed on the page [[War on spam]], we are still experiencing vandalism of the [[OniGalore:Community Portal]] page. I don't whether to call it spam, because it doesn't seem to be advertising anything, but it's bad and I'm sure we all want to stop it. Let's discuss this further on the War on spam page.
Spamwatch update (4/16/08): Seems that it's been a couple weeks since we had spambot activity. Not long enough to get our hopes up that it's done, but at least the bots are on a break or something. At this rate there's no need to block registration or anything.
