Current demo repository? And searching for old demo, bounty!

What's the best source to browse through recent demos - are they posted up anywhere? I see individual demo links on matches here, but just wondering if there is a more compiled source somewhere =)
Also, I'm searching for an old demo I made - a Stupid Kiln Trick in Halls of Iconia (by clone7, probably with the pilot name Lancer). It was nuts, involved two smarts, and took me weeks to get one successful run of in college. Morfod recently confirmed to me that he remembers it (although he remembers Everything!!) so it gives me hope it's out there kicking somewhere. It's almost certainly from late 2001 or early 2002.
I'll legitimately pay a bounty if anyone can find it ^_^

Not yet - is he often on Mumble or do you have alternate contact info for him?

Was it on the Cannery? Lorddeath uploaded all of those to YouTube a couple years ago. Here's one, for example - way more on the channel.

I think it would have been in the era of ESP's Descent Pilot Ratings. It kinda merged Pavel96's ratings and the Cannery's Kiln tricks into a community news format.

Unfortunately, my demo collection is not nearly as vast as I'd like it to be. Most are from the past few years, and any from before were mostly from Tobycat's collection. I lost mine just like everyone else has: hardware failure, reformats, etc.
Cameron and MD are said to have many older demos. Another go to, even though he hasn't been around for years, would be Warlord. Although, he's moved away from Descent, I think he's a likely candidate to still have demos from that era (good luck trying to get in touch with him. Your best bet might be to just travel to Alabama and scream his name in any town you pass by. Maybe he'd slither his way out of the dark crevice he's been hiding in.).

I think I did try LD when he was uploading them a few years ago (it coincided with my coming back). I'm just going to blame Morfod, as clearly it's his fault somehow ; )
Thanks for the thoughts guys and the bounty stands if anyone does come across it!
