     Same here. I worked for Lore Networks (Everlore, Asheronslore, etc.. a big early MMO media network) 20-25 years ago and generated a ton of content. They eventually were acquired by UGO, who was acquired by IGN, who was acquired by ZiffDavis, and somewhere along the line everything I did disappeared into the ether without any archive.
