Halo 2 map format

I think it would be nice to have a forum dedicated to the actual map format were people could post their discoveries on how the map actually works. I like to make programs for halo 2, but i find it very hard to find the information on how it works. For example, I still don't know exactly why magic has the value it has, i just know it works. I think a forum for this could help our exploration of the sbsp and other raw data. Also, i think it would act kinda like a Halo 2 bible for people who don't understand it well.
What do you think?

I Think There Should Be A Scripting And Programming Thread Just For Halo2 (If Noone Has Noticed The Current Scripting Thread Is Under Halo PC!)

yeah, i have it on my hard-drive, that's what got me started.... I know how to find the magic, and how to use it, but i'm still not sure
what that value is. i know it was created to allow the moving of large amounts of data without having to change offsets, but i don't know why it is the value it is? The way i see it, if we had a forum for these kind of questions we could build a database of knowledge for everyone. Anyhoo... i'm glad you guys think this would be a good idea too
