Update: Ad-Free, Tracker-Free Experience for Our Registered Members

[Uncrowned Guard]

We're proud to share another step in our mission to build a cleaner, more community-focused web: affiliate link generation has now been disabled for registered users across all Uncrowned Empire sites.

🧾 What This Means:

✅ Only visitors (non-logged-in users) will see standard links converted into affiliate links.

✅ Registered users will no longer see:

• Affiliate link tracking (via Sovrn Commerce)

• AdSense advertisements

• Third-party ad scripts or tracking

✅ User-submitted affiliate links are untouched. If you share a valid affiliate link yourself, it will remain intact and unaltered.

✅ Hard-coded affiliate links are also not affected by this change, as they are simply posted as links, and we have no reason to try to remove user-posted links.

Why Are We Doing This?

We're committed to giving our registered community the experience they deserve — one without trackers, popups, or clutter.

This builds on our earlier move to disable AdSense ads for all logged-in users, and it's part of our larger belief that a logged-in member shouldn't be treated like a product. You’re part of our community, and that matters more than clicks.

But Don’t Worry — We’re Still Supporting the Empire

This update simply shifts monetization efforts to visitors who aren’t logged in. It allows us to maintain a baseline of support while giving our active members a cleaner, privacy-first experience.

If you're passionate about what we're doing and want to go the extra mile, we’re always open to Supporter memberships, volunteering, and sharing our content.

Thank you for being part of this experiment in doing the web differently.
No paywalls. No clickbait. Just community.
