The Book of Mazarbul [Archives]

And of old it was not darksome, but full of light and splendour, as is still remembered in our songs.

The idea of this thread is to archive the remaining pieces of the old Plaza which are relevant to the Khazad-Dum's history. Much has been lost, and many links are broken on the Wayback Machine. However I thought people might like to work to compile and restore as much of the history as possible. Whether it be icons, banners, working links to old threads, records and lists, or whatever seems important, funny, or memorable from the Shire's history, you are encouraged to post it here. This is an ongoing work in progress, please enjoy this trip down memory lane.

KD must have a bit of a troubled history, it seems, based on some of these threads' contents. Appropriately named kingdom? ;)

2002
Ideas, Questions, etc. -- This looks to be a thread of people trying to figure out what to do with/in the kingdom. General dissatisfaction.
https://web.archive.org/web/20020701164 ... Position=1


Craftsmen Competition has started -- An intense looking thread about the creation of items (with some strict moderation!)
https://web.archive.org/web/20020701165 ... Position=1


the legacy of the rings 2 -- I don't even understand what this is. An RPG? A fan-fic? I have no idea.
https://web.archive.org/web/20020701164 ... Position=1


Dwarven Background -- A sort of biography thread
https://web.archive.org/web/20020701170 ... Position=1


Part Three: On the Road Again -- Part two won't load and Part one isn't even imaged, so we will never know what the original title of this RPG was.
https://web.archive.org/web/20020701165 ... Position=1


Part Four: Captured -- The sequel to Part Three.
https://web.archive.org/web/20020701165 ... Position=1


Khazad-dum News this Week -- Uhhh not the most interesting thread but it opened so I am recording it here

Morogs-the Miners 3 -- Same as above, but for a different clan
https://web.archive.org/web/20021026094 ... Position=1


Ankixogs-The Travellers 6 -- Same again, not sure why they were on their sixth thread though. Maybe they were more popular?
https://web.archive.org/web/20021026093 ... Position=1

Mojac Ashayezogs 2 -- Same again, but for yet another clan
https://web.archive.org/web/20021026091 ... Position=1


Debate Team -- A thread that demonstrates to us that people not showing up for debate is an evergreen issue
https://web.archive.org/web/20021026093 ... Position=1


New Dwarves and People -- A welcome thread
https://web.archive.org/web/20021026094 ... Position=1


GOLPE -- An RP game about kidnapping an admin or ruler or something. It surprises me the ratio of OOC to IC in these threads, I have to say.

2004

https://web.archive.org/web/20040310131 ... Position=1

https://web.archive.org/web/20040310125 ... Position=1


Dwarven Art Gallery IV: Competition! -- This one's a bit pointless, as none of the art still seems reachable, but I record for posterity's sake.

The Stargazer Thrones -- A thread in which we find out that @Winddancer is being held in the dungeons of KD...

https://web.archive.org/web/20040310123 ... Position=1


Moria H&B; Spa; 34 Massage Couches -- Another fascinating level of detail for such a silly idea. Also, Thom!
https://web.archive.org/web/20040310142 ... Position=1


Ankixogs - Poems, Prayers & Promises (Cl) -- Another clan thread. There's someone in there named Luke Skywalker, seems like he might have gotten his fandom's confused.
https://web.archive.org/web/20040310142 ... Position=1


Okay I'm realizing that there isn't a thread that DOESNT open on this page, so all of the above are contained at the bottom of this one link, which leads to the KD home page capture. Every single thread on that page opens:
https://web.archive.org/web/20040218194 ... ForumID=31


Mex Uzbans- 30 Sacks of Seeds -- Another clan thread. Shagrat SCR is visible there, if that helps you icon collectors. I should have been pointing those out as I went.
https://web.archive.org/web/20040415103 ... Position=1


The Belegost Brownies' Thrones -- Interesting icon for @Dis in this thread.
https://web.archive.org/web/20040814181 ... Position=1


Another page where nearly everything loads, with the following exceptions: KD AG New Adventures, Mojak Ashayezok LVI, and The Tomb of Torech (RPG)
https://web.archive.org/web/20040603040 ... ForumID=31


Every thread opens on this capture as well, including what I think is the same Tomb of Torech that wouldn't open before:
https://web.archive.org/web/20040807125 ... ForumID=31


Realm of Khazad-Dum Unleashed -- There were a lot of different premises for free RP around KD, this is another one
https://web.archive.org/web/20041010044 ... Position=1


Badger Stadium – Info and HQ’s V -- BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER mushroom mushroom etc.
https://web.archive.org/web/20041019053 ... Position=1


Chamber of Announcements -- Some interesting announcement banners still load here
https://web.archive.org/web/20041022080 ... Position=1

https://web.archive.org/web/20041010005 ... Position=1


ShEru Who????? Mwahahahahaha!!!! -- An appreciation thread, very sweet.

The Telchar Medal -- Because the proliferation of ranks was not enough, a special set of awards. Woo.
https://web.archive.org/web/20040919030 ... Position=1


Burrowing Badger Inn -- A very short thread at the time it was archived, but I guess better than nothing.
https://web.archive.org/web/20041019053 ... Position=1


The KD Departure Cave -- You can't just say your posts will be late because you're on vacation, you have to fill out a form. Probably in triplicate.
https://web.archive.org/web/20041010010 ... Position=1


Kaption Kontest 17 -- Back when there were so many active users the thread only had like 1 or 2 photos before closed for judging. Bombur SCR in that thread.
https://web.archive.org/web/20041013022 ... Position=1


Khazad-dūm Market XI -- Not all the market stall art loads, but some of it does. I think I spot @Tari
https://web.archive.org/web/20041013031 ... Position=1


Morogs 44: Something around the corner(cl) -- Another clan thread, but this time, none of the art loads! Also, you can see the rising standards for RP.
https://web.archive.org/web/20050501142 ... Position=1


Ankixogs - Get Together -- Another clan thread. I'm glad they've toned down the colors since the previous one. Very little of this thread archived.
https://web.archive.org/web/20041013032 ... Position=1


That appears to be it from 2004--it's a lot to go through! I'm amazed how much is actually saved to be honest. Pretty cool!

I'm on a roll, can't stop now.
2005

IK Race Khazad-Dum vs Isengard -- I guess for the record, Isengard won. Also they are officially Isengard at this point and not the White Council.
https://web.archive.org/web/20050427051 ... Position=1


Anghak-Recruitment/Re-enlistment(CL) -- Some intense record-keeping in this thread, really impressive stuff. Smaug makes an appearance as an icon, as does a really weird looking Durin's Bane...
https://web.archive.org/web/20050414234 ... Position=1


Dwarven Welcome Centre XXIII (CL) -- Lots of special icons appear in that thread, check it out.

https://web.archive.org/web/20050414233 ... Position=1


Dwarven Duty Centre I -- I wonder how many of these emails are still in use? :shock:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050413082 ... Position=1


Dwarven Duty Centre IV -- Check out the Halloween icons in this thread!
https://web.archive.org/web/20051127175 ... Position=1


That's all I could find from 2005. 2006 is the dead year, it seems--only two captures the entire year, and no threads open. :cry:

Onto the new-old plaza, after the great server switch of New Year's 2007 (I was just a newbie back then!)

https://web.archive.org/web/20070222232 ... TID=209496

https://web.archive.org/web/20070222235 ... TID=214552


The Arda Cup II -- The title sounds cool but really this is just a sign-up thread. Ah well.

The Three Musketeers Pub -- A pub, with attendant shenanigans.
https://web.archive.org/web/20070222235 ... TID=214877

https://web.archive.org/web/20070222235 ... TID=214805


KD Welcome Centre: No. 1 for Newbies -- I guess we circled back around on the numbers?

https://web.archive.org/web/20071124074 ... TID=221554

https://web.archive.org/web/20071011173 ... TID=220550


The Kagam Khazads: Sages, Advisors and Lorists -- Last page only loads, and that by clicking "go to last post" I think @Queen Nerwen was in charge of that clan at this point.
https://web.archive.org/web/20071011174 ... 53#6554353

Royal Chambers of Crafters and Quaffers -- Nothing much of interest here but for the record.
https://web.archive.org/web/20071118081 ... TID=221013


Mojak Ashayezok- *insert ferocious warcry here* -- Some cool in-thread art that still loads here! The rules at this point already look funny because the quality of posts has gone up so high. On an unrelated note (really), I make the first KD appearance that will load in this thread.

IK Drill : Lorien vs KD -- A drill thread cut unfortunately short
https://web.archive.org/web/20071114054 ... TID=223587


Royal Chambers of Cram -- At the end of 2007, I think rulers had to step down for IRL or something, and this thread introduces some admin temporary rulers. Only first page loads.

Dwarven Welcome Centre - #1 For Newbies -- Check out Protoguy's icon at this time, it's awesome. This thread pinpoints the moment I moved to KD (along with some others) to help breathe some life into it. Only one page loads
https://web.archive.org/web/20080514042 ... TID=224210

That's all I could find for 2007. For this year and onward, it's a lot trickier to find things that load due to multiple pages and multiple ways to load them, but I'm doing my best and I don't think I missed much if any.

Back to the grind! Honestly so few threads were made in 2008 I'm not sure there's much more to post.
2007 thread that only loads from 2008 vantage point:

The Realms of Khazad-dum -- Page 3, all the posts are 2007 (minus a few at the bottom) but the way I've been searching I only found it in 2008 because that's when the wayback machine captured it.

2008

The Moria Health & Beauty Spa -- Whole lotta reception, not a lot of treatment in this thread LOL
https://web.archive.org/web/20080520124 ... TID=225098


Happy Birthday Loin! -- Don't let the title fool you, this was a happy birthday/plazaversary thread
https://web.archive.org/web/20081209095 ... TID=225500


Spring Pub -- The clans were no longer running every thread since there were almost no dwarves left.
https://web.archive.org/web/20080408150 ... TID=226279


Battle-Orc -- Like the board game Battleship!
https://web.archive.org/web/20080421111 ... TID=226255

https://web.archive.org/web/20080412190 ... TID=226070


Marketplace -- This is the same Market thread I posted in 2007, but the last page loaded for me here.
https://web.archive.org/web/20080410055 ... 43#6720043


Dwarven Gems - Tribute! (15/March) -- I don't even know why I tried to open this, it's just a tribute thread, 2nd page only
https://web.archive.org/web/20080319145 ... 24152&PN=2


Mokogs I - A New Age! -- Restarting the numbers again, probably good they were getting out of control. Only 1 page loads.
https://web.archive.org/web/20080612124 ... TID=226517


It's the first of June... -- A pointless thread. No, not an insult from me, it's in the OP, go look.
https://web.archive.org/web/20080602211 ... TID=227185


IK Debates~Round Three~Riddermark@KD -- Unfortunately not much here, got archived too early.

This is basically the last year, as KD was folded into a region in December 2009 and there are no more captures after May 2009 anyway. Someone else can gather region threads if they want, but it doesn't interest me enough.
2009

The Azanulbizar Questionnaire lll -- Took forever to load, but it opens if you wait patiently. There's a Nemo icon here, idk what year that's from.
https://web.archive.org/web/20090214075 ... TID=231234


The Dwarven Duty Centre! -- Cool Thorin icon, think Nerwen's already got it hanging around again though :)
https://web.archive.org/web/20100204091 ... TID=232637


The Iron Fist! -- The Throne Room of King @Narv
https://web.archive.org/web/20090906215 ... -iron-fist

And unfortunately, that's all I could get to open in 2009. I am, however, adding to this post the sub-forum Kheled-zaram. The subfora I think were added in 2007 when the servers swapped, but I can't remember for sure. At the least, nothing is in there pre-2007. Also, it's not very interesting (I think) since it's mostly just OOC threads, but... Here we go! Everything loads except the earlier Merikhansar OOC and the newer pinned Mojak OOC, even the later pages, as far I tested, so I'm just linking the whole subforum at once:

https://web.archive.org/web/20100204090 ... asp?FID=53

And, as I say, that appears to be it. There are no more captures that I can find before KD and others became part of the Western Mountains Region. The earliest capture I could find of that region, if someone is curious, or wants to pick up where I have left off, is January 3rd, 2010, here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20100103195 ... -mountains

There are probably some posts from December 2009 that will load in the Moria region, but I have not checked. Cheers!

Dang they changed my rank and everything? I guess it was it like an SCR or something? And this was in 2009?? You'd think I would remember that..

also sorry for effectively killing KD with my brief reign apparently. I guess this last month just puts me back even with yall

I found the final archive of the Dwarven kingdom pages by the very roundabout method of going to the "archives" in 2015, then going to the archives that were on the old plaza, which allowed me to access the kingdom-only subforum Mazarbul, which then (very luckily) loaded a thread about revamping the KP's done by TMM. I clicked on every page and they all loaded with the single exception of the Guide to Dwarven Names. I have not, however, clicked on all the sub-links under the Dwarven Army page, so if anyone is curious, report back your findings.
