Use this tool to archive your private messages.

Access may be limited under heavy use. Expect a long wait after you start the archival process.

Apparently the format is a little craptastic to read, so Prismatic asked me to cobble something together to make it less crappy.

It's really basic, and put together in 5 hours I was meant to be working in. If it breaks, shits free yo, so get over it. Nah, I kid. Email me if it screws up and I'll sort it out.



Example of the viewer


You still need to run the archival tool, the viewer is just that -- a viewer for the archive.

assembly!


No just kidding, it's php. It sorts your sent and received messages and dumps each one into a pseudo mbox formatted text file.

Cool, just doing a cookie pull in python then grabbing all the PMs and dumping them into something. Probably sqlite since I have the library loaded anyway to handle the firefox cookies.

OMG, I just realized I used my PM box as my personal Photobucket. All the links to TONS of .gifs are in a PM I add to and resend to myself, and it'll be lost!

How can I copy my wall of text to somewhere I can access it on IGN like my PM's?

Can I send it to myself as a PM on IGN's side?

Um. Save it to a text file on your computer?

I highlight the wall of text, but no save option when I right click.
