portalgraphics.net is an art website that primarily displays images created with openCanvas.
On July 27th 2016 Japan Time, 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
Notice
http://www.portalgraphics.net/pg/guide/en_news20160520.html[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb]
All data in PGN Community will be deleted on July 27th, 2016.
- PGN Community user account data
- Uploaded illustration data (event file, event animation file)

If you would like to save an event file or event animation file posted to the PGN community, please download them by July 27th, 2016.
Regarding the personal information in your PGN Community account, we will delete it in a secure and responsible way
according to the privacy policy upon the end of the service.
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
- Sitemap[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb]
- 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 90360. 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 )". In the latter case, viewing an image directly will still work, while in the former case, a direct image URL will redirect to a dedicated 404 page while still yielding a status code of 200.
Saving ranking pages[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb] properly may be impossible, as functionality relies on the current time as a UNIX timestamp in the URL, generated by Date.now()
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") while still yielding a status code of 200.
Some areas of the site, such as http://www.portalgraphics.net/pg/plan_portal/[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb] and http://www.portalgraphics.net/oc/lecture/[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb] are Japanese-exclusive; clicking the "English" link will take you to the front page.

How can I help?
Running a Warrior
You can start up a Warrior and there select portalgraphics.net. (If you don't really care what you are archiving, select ArchiveTeam's Choice instead, as at some points ArchiveTeam may priorize another project.)
Running the script manually
If you use Linux and you're a bit familiar with it, you can try running the script directly.
The instructions can be found at github.com/ArchiveTeam/portalgraphics-grab.
Some additional information |

Don't forget to replace YOURNICKHERE with your nickname.
The number after If you want to stop the script, please do it gracefully if possible. To do so, create an empty file named STOP in the folder of the script (terminal command: If you see "Project code is out of date", kill the script, go to its folder ( The grabber script is designed so that the warrior will shut down if the servers are too busy, so as to avoid grabbing the "servers are too busy" message instead of the intended page |
Donating to the Internet Archive
Content downloaded by the ArchiveTeam will be uploaded to the Internet Archive, where it will be stored and be available – hopefully – forever. However, storing it costs thousands of dollars in the long run. So, if you can afford, please consider donating to the Internet Archive, so that this piece of history can be kept for us all. http://archive.org/donate
