'''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. For a long time, Nik didn't really do much other than post bitterly, but now he does the odd thing every so often. 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]].
