SAS Halo3

**Group Link** | {{{Group Link}}}

SAS Halo3 is a bungie.net group with over 1000 members. It was created by seeMYfileShare and is now run by MBT Knights MBT. It is an off-topic group meaning that we don't only focus on the games made by bungie. We are always open to new members to join the fun. We all participate in forum games and contests making us a very active community.

## History

SAS Halo3 has been around for several years now. The best way to learn about SAS Halo3 is to look back at some of the earlier threads of SAS Halo3.

Now everyone wants to know what SAS stands for in SAS Halo3. For years, everyone has guessed the British Airforce SAS. That is incorrect. The SAS has not been revealed yet and the secret still remains a mystery to this day. No one, other than MBT Knights MBT himself, knows the true meaning for SAS.

### **Administrators:**

#### **ShadowLegacy:**

*ShadowLegacy is one of the key elements of this group. He was known as GruntKilla44 back in the day and he has just recently changed that account when he came back to the group. He left the group in the earlier years due to some technical problems but those problems have been solved now and he is back and better than ever. ShadowLegacy has always given it his all in SAS Halo3 and he has been in a lot of the history.*

*It all started when MBT Knights MBT joined GruntKilla's group, 'The Zealots'. MBT Knights MBT then liked how Gruntkilla would post these huge weekly updates, and always make things fun in the group by having contests and forums games. So MBT Knights MBT then asked GruntKilla if he would like to join SAS Halo3 and help him lead the group together. Of course GruntKilla accepted and that's how the history started.*

#### **MrNakedSpaceMan:**

*MrNakedSpaceMan is one of the most respected and loyal members of SAS Halo3. He has always been active in the group since the start. He was one of the first members in the group along with benh66. NakedSpaceMan doesn't post as much anymore at the group but he still moderates and voices his opinions when he feels they are needed. He enjoys taking screenshots and photoshopping.*

#### **bionicaxe:**

*bionicaxe is another old member of SAS Halo3. He has been involved in many events of SAS Halo3 and he currently still helps the group has much as possible. You'll rarely see him goof around and he knows how to lead a group. He usually signs onto bungie on a daily basics.* Gamertag: x ipenetrate x

#### **benh66:**

*The first ever 'admin of the group. benh66 has always been a GREAT admin of the group. He lives in Austrilia and really helped the activity of the group back in 08' and 09'. He has been an admin for a few years now but as of today you can rarely see him sign on. He has been busy with his life lately and can't find as much time as he desires to log onto the group each day.*

#### **AnnualMissleMan:**

*Known as Charles. He was yet another member of the past. He was a huge contributor to the group and helped get SAS Halo3 where it is today. He used to have another account that he would post in the group with until he switched over to AnnualMissleMan. When the group went under it's inactive state in '10, he left the group along with 200 other members dropping the total number of members from 800 to 600 members. When SAS Halo3 went into its revamp era, MBT Knights MBT messaged AnnualMissleMan stating that the group is active and that he would promote him back to admin. Annual joined back up and he was promoted back to admin.*

### **Forum Ninjas:**

#### **a casual banana:**

*One of the recent moderators of the group. Himself and Whiter Than You were both promoted to the staff because they've proved themselves worthy to the group and both were extremly active. a casual banana was different. He didn't just post for the post count, he posted to influence members to keep logging on each day and posting. Although banana is a newer moderator, he can really help the group in the future.*

#### **Cheify Weefy 07:**

*Cheify Weefy 07 is one of the oldest members in history. He was always active back in the day. He would always post everday and he was a valued member. When he joined the staff, he limited his posting quite a bit so other members could be seen and so he could moderate efficently. He only posts on weekends now.*

#### **MR JOEY BON:**

*Twins with MrNakedSpaceMan. Just kidding. But they were both really active at the same time so it was kind of ironic that they both had the prefix "Mr" in their username. MR JOEY BON rarely posts in the group but he spends most of his time moderating the group and trying to improve it as much as possible.*

#### **QuirkyNate:**

Nate became the second Activity King in the group holding the title for three striaght months. He was finally defeated by Krisman in a two round vote. Nate then recieved the custum rank of Il Duca meaning The Duke in Italian. He desires to be a Forum Ninja. The best way to upset him is by writing in a language other than English or by writing posts completely backwards. Nate is frequently seen abusing his power by editing all of Bronx's posts taking pride in being a power hungry lettuce.

On 6-14-11 MBT posted an urgent news post telling SASians to follow the procedure. With hints such as blue and dot many were confused. Three people located what MBT was hinting towards Ulvi Arwotee (Wraith of dark), Bloodguard, and BR0NX BOMBER. It was a group named SAS Halo4 which he created solely for this purpose. Days after the announcement for Halo 4 someone suggested that SAS Halo4 be made and the idea was immediately shot down. The group then was killed due to no one being able to join it.

Below is the only news article created in the group.
