SiIvaGunner: Rebooted

SiIvaGunner: Rebooted is a major lore storyline on SiIvaGunner in 2016. It begin on June 17 and ended on July 9. It was the first piece of lore on the channel and was later followed by The SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis.
== Context ==
Leading up to this event, rips with "Snow halation" had started gaining negative attention, both through mass disliking and hateful comments. This would lead to the upload of the rip "MEGALOVANIA (OST Version) - Undertale" in which Chad Warden addresses the hate towards "Snow halation" and why it should be seen as a bad thing. This would later be followed by to more videos; the direct follow up "Megalovania (Beta Mix) - EarthBound Halloween Hack", and a video focusing on SiIvaGunner buying new ripping software that briefly mentions "Snow halation"'s negative reception, "Futari Happiness (NOZOMI Mix) - Love Live! School idol festival". 
On June 17, the channel was rebooted, with new story focused videos starring Chad Warden as the protagonist being uploaded, which explained the current state of the channel and introduced The Voice Inside Your Head. 
The event mainly had the following differences:
* The two (later three) main memes of the channel (7 GRAND DAD/"Meet the Flintstones", "Snow halation" and Loud Nigra) were all replaced with similar sources. 7 GRAND DAD and "Meet the Flintstones" were replaced the theme songs to The Simpsons and Family Guy, due to them being fellow animated family sitcoms with iconic theme songs. "Snow halation" was replaced with "GO MY WAY!!", due to being a popular song from a fellow idol-focused series. Loud Nigra wasn't actually planned on getting replaced during The Reboot, the channel was just using him less. Fans eventually assumed that Loud Nigra was replaced with the stock sound effect the Howie scream, which appeared in a few rips prior. The team decided to canonize this, while some rips with Nigra were still uploaded, but most of them had him cut off. 
* The "Please read the channel description." catchphrase was changed to "Read the channel description, please." and some times other variants. 
* Rips with other Vinesauce Joel references were uploaded, most infamously "Puzzle Room - Kirby Planet Robobot". Rips with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure were also uploaded due to Joel being a fan of that series. 
Throughout the event, a series of rips were uploaded, telling an in-universe story explaining the current state of the channel, and how The Voice decided to step in and "fix things". The first three of these videos actually had different titles when initially uploaded, but were later changed. The videos are: 
* Intro
* Now Rebooting
* The Deal 
* A Grand New Era ~Ending~
* Melody of the Heart ~True Ending~
Two ARGs based around the event also happened, which is fully explained in this video. 
The story concluded with Chad sacrificing himself to merge the current universe and the previous one, with "Snow halation" intact, and seemingly killing The Voice, both with the power of The MF Like Button. 
After this, the channel would return to its normal state, with memes from before and during The Reboot making frequent appearances. 
== Trivia ==
* The first three rips using The Nutshack were uploaded during this event, starting with "San Andreas Theme Song (Vocals Mix) - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". 
* "GO MY WAY!!", The Simpsons, Family Guy and the Howie scream were all used at least once prior to this, but this event truly classified them as memes on the channel. 
* "Puzzle Room" also became a meme on the channel thanks to the Puzzle Room incident occurring during it. The same can technically also be said for Kirby Planet Robobot in general, as a rip of "P-R-O-G-R-A-M" played in "A Grand New Era ~Ending~", with the song and Robobot later having a major presence in The SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis and rips uploaded around that time and since then.
