[[WMG: There was no retcon of Bob's backstory]]
Just because he originally went to Mainframe earlier than we thought doesn't mean he stayed there. We saw the other Guardians show up shortly after he followed Kilobyte's signal. They likely cleaned up the damage caused by the explosion and took Bob back to the supercomputer to finish his training. Bob finished his training and went on to be a great Guardian, catching Mouse and earning himself a great reputaion which in turn caused Turbo to grant him the opportunity to test his theory in Mainframe.

**Or, maybe it was the result of what Phong did to Dot? The device was supposed to send waves into the past and future. The past effects we saw, Dot hallucinating, but maybe this was the future waves? Maybe this is when the flash forward Dot was having would have actually taken place?

[[WMG: Mainframe is a server]]
That's why so many games are played. Because there are multiple people using it at once. As such, there are multiple Users.

[[WMG: Matrix's Eye can read sprite code]]
That's why he took an instant dislike to Ray Tracer. He was hope to stop him from meeting Andraia, since what he would do then was written all over his code.

[[WMG: Games are only harmful to systems that already have a viral infection]]
That is, games only compound the system errors caused by Viruses, the most common and prominent of which is Nullification. Systems that are clean don't have anything to fear from losing games but viruses are so prevalent and the effects of their infestation are so ingrained into public consciousness that no system dares running the risk of losing a game.

** Mainframe also ended up making BeastWars only a few years later in syndication, which helped popularize the idea of an all CGI animated series and led to the boom in CGI animation that persists to this day. With Beast Wars they still had ExecutiveMeddling to deal with, but it seems almost ''kind'' and good-natured compared to some of the hoops Reboot had to go through, and most of that was because there was franchise history and continuity to deal with rather than outright censorship.

[[WMG: Mainframe does not have one User]]
But several, it's a family computer that everyone is taking turns using and playing with. This is why the User seems so inconsistent, there is actually one one tech-savvy person in the family and everyone else is screwing around, playing games, downloading viruses from the net and generally causing problems for everyone else.

[[WMG: The User is TheAngryVideoGameNerd]]
I can just picture the user being AVGN reviewing awful games. He could be complaining about TheComputerIsACheatingBastard and GameBreakingBugs. That also explains why he never plays the same game twice: he destroys the ones he thinks are bad

Think about it; a virus threatens the entire net and is going to cause the entire thing to crash, at a specific time. At the end of the day the virus dissappears and no systems crash at all.

[[WMG: ''Number 7'' '''Wasn't''' [[AllJustADream a dream.]]]]
That system was really a Playstation and The User had loaded the {{ReBoot}} video game for the console. But since Matrix was in the game RecursiveCanon kicked in and destabilized the game code. As Matrix derailed the game looking for the Number 1, the game code continued to deteriorate and all sense of logic was lost, resulting in a MindScrew. Matrix's "chat" with young Enzo finally crashed the game and rendered Matrix unconscious while the User went back to playing a golf game. Being a game sprite Andraia's memory was reset when the {{ReBoot}} game crashed and had no idea why Matrix was unconscious, and decided to tease Matrix by saying he was knocked out by a golf ball.

[[WMG: Mainframe's User rents all of his/her games.]]
Assuming all of those games run off a disk and are not installed into the computer this explains why the User rarely plays the same game twice. He/She rents a game, plays once and loses, says WTF this game sucks, and returns the game immediately.

[[WMG:Hexadecimal isn't a true virus]]
She's a living viral upgrade. When Kilobyte upgraded to Gigabyte it was stated to have skipped a generation. However, as it was upgrading it was teleported away by Welman Matrix and seperated into two viruses. Megabyte is the real virus, the skipped generation, strong, persistant and infectious. Hexadecimal is the interupted upgrade, she's raw power given form, her chaotic behaviour is due to a lack of purpose. Notice how, throughout the entire series, Hexadecimal lacks a function, no other character has this problem. Every single virus we see is on a mission to infect or destroy but Hexadecimal just sits around until she gets bored and then stirs up some trouble, not even seeming particularily bothered when she is ultimately thwarted and even switches sides without much thought or effort. Further notice that Gigabyte really is little more than Megabyte with Hexadecimal's powers.

[[WMG: The User is a genuine EldritchAbomination.]]
And I don't mean on a HumansAreCthulhu scale. ''Nothing'' the User does and nothing about the Net and the Web make any sense when applied to our computers. It's easier to believe that sprites and binomes are human-scale entities in a universe run by creatures that would drive real-world humans mad on sight.
