For those who might be interested in the brief history of this website:
Romulus 2 is named after the mythical founder of Rome, the centre of
one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. A tenuous connection with computers is suggested by the first
three letters: ROM is what brings a computer to life.
Romulus 2 was registered as a domain (romulus2.com) on the 27th August
1999 and first went online on the 29th December 1999.
Here are a couple of screenshots from the early days:

Feedback Arena:
The Feedback Arena was introduced on the 10th April 2000, with
Internet Service Providers as the first category. There was no chart and no ranking, simply a list linked to comments
with individual ratings.
The next category, Computer Suppliers in the UK, was added on 8th August
2000. This inaugurated the Ranking Chart. It was rather primitive (no verification of users, no minimum reviews
for top ranking, no search function) but it was the first of its kind in the UK and attracted quite a lot of interest
at the time.
