I'd ask why the simulation allowed bans on website forums to exist.

What if the universe is a simulation with a safety protocol. When something in the simulation for example humans discover its a simulation and get the ability to fuck with it, it shuts down and restarts the simulation like in the matrix.
They patch the error and restart it in the hope it won't have to be reset this time.

So the big bang is the shut down and reset process meaning it last happened 10 billion years ago or whatever.

So should we really dabble with the system and risk being shut down or should we accept the reality and just live with it.

That depends if we know the purpose of the simulation. Its purpose may be simply to manipulate it and enter the host universe in some form or another so "they" can figure out how to manipulate "their" universe/simulation and possibly find a way to escape into their own host simulation, climbing the ladder of simulations and so on until they found Universe one, the OG.

What a stunningly creative idea.  I've actually done this before... we all have.  What you describing isn't a simulation (in the classical sense)... its a dream.  

A dream is a simulated universe inside of our head.  We can talk with people and the people that we are talking to don't realize that they are just simulations inside of the dreamers mind.  In fact, if you don't believe me, try telling someone in your dream that they aren't real.  They wont beleive you.   Imagine their reaction if they relised that their existance would cease to be the moment you woke up.  Even that the form of yourself that they are interaction with is also just a simulation.   It stands to reason that we could be a simulation in someone else's dream.   Maybe a computer's 'dream'.  Sure.  Its possible.  And since dreams don't have to start at the beginning of the universe, but a beginning is always implied - the beginning of the simulation may not have even started yet.   The actual start of the universe may be trillions of years from now.  After all, you never start a dream at the beginning of time.  But the beginning of time still exisists.
