<forumuser name="NiktheGreek" /> NiktheGreek is now something of a veteran scener, approaching as he is the tenth anniversary of his quiet Sonic scene debut in September 2001. With bagloads of enthusiasm and considerably less skill, he joined the staff of the original SSRG in 2002 and spent a few years doing that sort of thing. He's also been a regular at Sonic CulT and more recently Sonic Retro. The worst-kept secret of Nik's lengthy stay is that he hasn't made a major contribution to any Sonic site since stepping down from the SSRG! Despite this nobody has officially shown him the door and so he sticks about. He's known to consistently attend UK scene meets, starting with the first CulT:UK meet in 2003, more recently including Retro's own and Summer of Sonic.
Outside of this website NiktheGreek's interests include politics, metal and electronic music, comedy and card games. In years past Nik ran a Dreamcast fansite, which gained a mild amount of interest as it actively followed Japanese developments from 2003 onwards. Occasionally, he toys with the idea of reviving it. Since early 2008 he's been writing for Arcade Heroes, venturing out to follow rumours of new location tests or cover massive trade shows.
