The historians were still working
The league's one published archive is its All-League Teams, first and second sides, going back to 2012 — with an honest note attached that some years are still under construction because its historians are working hard on them.
That work stopped where it stopped. A dozen years of first-team selections, half-finished, on a hosted account with no league behind it. High Cheese keeps a league's documents and honours beside the seasons they came from, so an archive somebody is halfway through building survives long enough for somebody else to finish it.
