portalgraphics.net is an art website that primarily displays images created with openCanvas.
On July 20th 2016, the site will undergo a "service change" and will primarily become a "rendering" site. During the overhaul, data will be deleted, including user data and associated data, which assumedly includes images a user uploaded

The Project
The goal is to get as much of the site saved on Wayback Machine as much as possible. The good news is that important URLs are based around numbers
URLs
Page URLs
- http://portalgraphics.net/pg/illust/?image_id=n
- The info page for a given image
- http://portalgraphics.net/pg/illust/?image_id=n&size=full
- Full size view of an image
n can be anywhere from 1 to 90312 (and counting). New images are added daily
Direct Image URLs
- http://www.portalgraphics.net/data/image/fullsize/m/n.jpg
- http://www.portalgraphics.net/data/image/resize/m/n.jpg
- http://www.portalgraphics.net/data/image/preview/m/n.jpg
- http://www.portalgraphics.net/data/image/preview_s/m/n.jpg
n is the same number as n from the page URL. m is n rounded down to the thousandth, unless n is less than 1000, in which case m is 0000. So if n is 3234, m is 3000. If n is 253, m is 0000
Caveats
If an image has been taken down, viewing a page URL will either yield the message "This illustration has been deleted already, or it does not exist.( illust_index:get_no_image_data. )" or "This page's ID is invalid, or you do not have authority to access to this page.( id )". Viewing a direct image URL in this case will either still work or will redirect to a dedicated 404 page while still yielding a status code of 200.
If the site's servers are overwhelmed, the page will be rendered with the message "回線が込み合っております。時間をおいて再度アクセスしてください" ("The lines are crowded. Please try again at a later time")
How can I help?
Get as many pages saved on Wayback Machine as possible by finding an URL and prefixing it with http://web.archive.org/save/
Stretch Goals
- Preserve artist data
- Artist Bio page: http://www.portalgraphics.net/pg/profile/?user_id=n
- Portfolio at page m: http://www.portalgraphics.net/pg/illust/individual.php?user_id=n&page=m&key=&method=
- Community Guide
- Ranking
- Figure out how to save event files on information pages
- Basically a high-speed making-of
