Channel Hosts and Takeovers (FILE-15) - Haltmann's Archives

"Channel Hosts and Takeovers [FILE-15] - Haltmann's Archives" is a high quality lore video and the fifteenth "file" in Haltmann's Archives.
== Summary ==
This video is formatted like all Haltmann's Archives videos starting with "[FILE-02]".
The file documents and describes all known entities that acted as on the SiIvaGunner channel throughout its history at the time of the file's release:
*SiIvaGunner, formerly GiIvaSunner, who ran the original GiIvaSunner channel from January 9 to April 5, 2016, then ran the SiIvaGunner channel from April 12 to October 30, 2016;
*Wood Man, who first took control of the channel on November 3, 2016 while helping to bring figments to the real world, but still has access to the channel and performs channel tasks to this day;
*The Voice Inside Your Head, who ran the channel from December 14, 2016 to May 14, 2017 with the goal of producing Christmas Spirit;
*Gadgetini Clone 2.0, which usurped the channel from The Voice on May 14, 2017 and ran the channel until being deactivated by "Mark Timotei" on May 26;
*President Haltmann, who ran the channel and allegedly put it on auction from May 26 to December 31, 2017, with Haltmann Works Company still retaining ownership of the SiIvaGunner brand;
*The SiIva A.I., which was first given control of the channel on January 1, 2018 and still actively ran the channel at the time of this file's upload (with a hiatus from January 4 to February 28, 2019). During its tenure as the host, the A.I. appeared to malfunction several times, taking the form of various figures. The A.I. also ran community-voted tournaments to elect additional channel hosts, those being Unregistered HyperCam 2 and DJ Professor K.
The file also states that the channel's data was temporarily transported to a different timeline by Wood Man on June 17, 2017, and that Haltmann Works R&D considered using the channel to access other universes, but projects regarding this idea have since been halted by Haltmann due to an incident regarding garlic-flavored tacos.
===Context===
This video was uploaded on the fifth anniversary of the beginning of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis, and serves to reveal the in-universe justification for the various "takeover" channel events that occurred after the SiIva A.I. gained control of the SiIvaGunner channel. The upload date may symbolic of how the anniversary of the Christmas Comeback Crisis is also the fifth anniversary of takeovers (as the arc started with The Voice's takeover, though this disregards Wood Man's semi-takeover in 2016).
The video appears to disregard previous lore, particularly the Nostalgia Critic Takeover and Gabe Newell Takeover which both had ambiguous connections to the Christmas Comeback Crisis but are considered mere malfunctions in this video. They would ultimately be reworked into canon with "Garlic-Flavored Tacos [FILE-16] - Haltmann's Archives", where Haltmann Works R&D theorizes that the A.I.'s programming was influenced by an alternate universe, possibly created by the A.I. itself, in which the individuals it copied actually took control of the channel.
