Revision as of 22:32, 26 December 2010

<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.

-'''NiktheGreek''' has achieved little of note since his [[Sonic scene]] debut in September 2001. A couple of scans, an X-Cult page here and there, that's it. In spite of this overwhelming laziness, he has somehow occupied such lofty positions as message board administrator in the past. At present, he's bucking the trend of a lifetime by making some effort and contributing to Sega Retro. In the future, he hopes to actually show people that hack he started in 2008. If you'd like to see what kind of person manages all this nothing, you're welcome to join Nik in attending the UK scene meet-ups that roll around every so often.

-Outside of this website NiktheGreek enjoys arcade games, competition, sonically unacceptable music, great sitcoms (mainly British ones and Frasier), and words. Politics depresses him, mainly because he actually tried to get involved and ended up more confused than ever.
