Ok big edit on this, if you want to know what happened follow this link, but be warned it talks of events that happen differently than what we saw in The Hobbit, I don't believe it will spoil any future story lines though

The war proved something of a pyrrhic victory, since while Thror was avenged the cost to the Dwarven race had been massive, and they remained exiled from Moria (due to the Balrog) and the Lonely Mountain (due to Smaug)

So it would appear as though the dwarves decided never to enter Moria because of the Balrog, and deemed it a lost cause. So they moved on and I am guessing that eventually Goblins moved in... because the guys they fought at the gates in The Hobbit were Orcs.. and in The Fellowship they fight Goblins.. Edit: OK again on this I am wrong as Tolkien seems to use the word Orc and Goblin interchangeably depending on the book.. I was under the impression that they were two different races..
After Gandalf defeats the Balrog in LOTR, and after the war of the ring, Moria is retaken by the dwarves.
