Old Ladoniaboard Archive

I began to mirror Ladonia Discussion Board shortly after I became Ladonian citizen in the autumn of 1997. I did it first to get aquatinted with the thoughts, expressed in Ladonia in the days before I joined in - without being on-line while I read all of them. So only some selective messages have been mirrored in those early days. Later I began a systematic mirror activity, so that quite a few messages are now preserved for the future

Ladonia Discussion Board tends to grow rather large over time and gets regularly (once a year?) reset. It gets truncated and all the messages at the end of the board are lost. This site gives you, fellow Ladonian, a unique opportunity to browse through (almost all) older messages, which can mainly no longer be found on the official site. Please note that this is not a discussion board - you cannot post follow-ups or new messages!

A blast from the future! As the saying goes, curiosity lead the Cheshire cat down the rabbit hole. And so, when I was sitting by the fire one evening in May of 2026, a note was slipped to me; it was from the good friend Khelben... oh, wait, that is a different story. In any case, the digital roads travelled, lead to the WebArchive and to a thought that maybe those missing message can be found there. And found they were! It turned out that WebArchive had both the index and the messages from the very inception of Ladonia Board. I have pulled those 446 missing messages, adding them here along with Index 0. A few of the messages were still devoured by the Great Void of Nothingness, and are listed below the table of indexes.
