NiktheGreek was a long-time scener, having made a 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 was also a regular at Sonic CulT and later Sonic Retro, where he mainly spewed venom. While Nik now dislikes Sonic forums and generally avoids them, he's known to consistently attend UK scene meets, having started with the first CulT:UK meet in 2003 and moved on to Retro's own Barcade runs and Summer of Sonic.
