State of the Empire - Embracing Our Journey Together In this exciting phase of our journey at Uncrowned Empire, it is a privilege to share a comprehensive overview of our present achievements and outline our forward-looking strategies. Our unwavering commitment to a transparent, community-first ethos continues to guide our path forward. What is Uncrowned Empire? At Uncrowned Empire, we are more than just a company; we are a community-oriented collective devoted to empowering each member toward personal betterment, with a unique emphasis on embracing one's true self. This mission is achieved through our two primary platforms: Uncrowned Addiction and Uncrowned Gaming. Our central philosophy revolves around teamwork and open communication. The Uncrowned Empire site serves as a dynamic workspace where our staff, inspired by community input, thrive in a collaborative, information-rich environment. This approach is key to our collective success and individual growth. What is Uncrowned Addiction? Often perceived as a "tech" site, Uncrowned Addiction represents the core of our online empire. It is a hub designed for all to enjoy our diverse services. While its tech-guide orientation is prominent, providing practical support to our community, we also cherish off-topic discussions, with a keen focus on technology and online safety. This blend makes Uncrowned Addiction a unique, multifaceted community center. What is Uncrowned Gaming? Marking our foray into genre-specific content, Uncrowned Gaming is dedicated to fans of first-person and third-person shooters. It’s a haven for gamers to excel in their preferred playstyles, with a strong emphasis on esports. We provide comprehensive guides and resources, aiming to assist gamers in achieving their aspirations. Introducing The Uncrowned Legion The Uncrowned Legion is the moniker we proudly bestow upon you, our users – the heart and soul of our enterprise and communities. We've learned to nurture this Legion, allowing you to flourish without confinement to overly rigid niches. Our communication across sites and social media now resonates with user-friendly tones, aligning with our mission to uplift others. Both Uncrowned Addiction and Uncrowned Gaming have evolved, shifting from hyper-focused themes to more inclusive forums that better reflect their respective genres. This transformation, especially notable in Uncrowned Gaming, acknowledges that you are much more than participants in our goals – you are the cornerstone of our community. Both platforms have witnessed gradual yet consistent growth, a testament to your unwavering support. Uncrowned Addiction has seen its clubs feature blossom into vibrant mini-communities for diverse interests. Similarly, Uncrowned Gaming has expanded into mini-communities through the formation of user-led teams and clans. The New Model We Are Aiming For In our pursuit of a more user-centric experience, we've made some pivotal changes: Ad-Free Experience for Registered Users: If you're registered, you'll have noticed the absence of ads. This intentional shift signifies our belief that your engagement is more valuable than ad revenue. A simple free account now guarantees an ad-free experience across our sites. Supporter Subscription: We've introduced a 'Supporter' subscription option for those who wish to contribute to our community-building efforts. Notably, this subscription doesn't gatekeep any features; it's purely a means for you to support us, without missing out on anything. Unlike many platforms, we don't believe in paywalling community participation – your presence and engagement are what we value most. Our Goal is More Than Just Us We're introducing initiatives that extend our support beyond our own community: Forum Addicts Club: This new club is designed to bolster not only our community but also others. With our advanced features and AI social media tools, promotions by users will gain wider exposure. We're exploring newsletters and additional tools to aid surrounding communities. Community Partners Program: Soon to launch, this program is about expanding our reach by assisting others. We plan to support partner sites with news, content, and promotion. It's not a paid service, but a collaborative space for admins to grow their platforms using our resources. To The Future Our vision for the future includes: Strategic Social Media Expansion: We are establishing "micro-communities" on various social media platforms. These spaces complement our forums, catering to users who prefer social media interactions over traditional forum engagement. This initiative aims to build communities where users already are, providing them with the same community-focused approach that is the hallmark of our larger sites. Commitment to Our Forums: Despite our expansion into social media, our forums remain central to our ethos. They are not just a part of our digital landscape; they are the bedrock of our online community. We firmly believe that forums offer the ultimate online community experience, providing a depth of interaction and engagement that other platforms cannot match. A Web-Like Expansion Strategy: Our approach to growth is not linear but resembles a web, spreading across various platforms and areas. This strategy is driven by our desire to extend our reach, not only to expand our empire but also to propagate our core values of community focus and respect for users. We reject the notion of treating users as mere sources of revenue and are committed to creating a digital space where information is freely accessible, without the burden of ads and the compromise of user rights. Creating User-Focused Platforms: Our guiding principle in content creation is to prioritize information. Our guides are designed to be informative first, ensuring that users receive the knowledge they need without interference from intrusive ads. This philosophy extends to our overall aim of developing websites and platforms that users genuinely prefer and enjoy using, rather than ones they feel compelled to use due to a lack of better options. As we march into the future, our dedication to open communication, transparent leadership, and community-driven development remains stronger than ever. Your insights, feedback, and active participation are invaluable as we continue to grow and evolve. Together, we are poised to create a future that reflects our shared values and aspirations, and your role in this journey is indispensable. Thank you for being the lifeblood of the Uncrowned Empire.

Uncrowned Empire is thrilled to announce the launch of a new and exciting feature on our forum, Uncrowned Addiction: the Debate of the Month (DOTM). This initiative aims to engage our community in meaningful discussions on current issues, controversial topics, and thought-provoking questions. This month, we are kicking off the series with a highly relevant and timely debate: "Should YouTube Take Action Against Off-Platform Misconduct by Its Creators?". This topic opens the floor for our community members to share their thoughts, perspectives, and insights on how online platforms should handle misconduct by their users, even when such actions occur outside the platform itself. The DOTM feature is designed to run from the first to the last day of each month, providing ample time for all voices to be heard. We prioritize member involvement and encourage active participation, ensuring that a diverse range of opinions is represented. We understand that debates can sometimes spill over into other platforms, and we want to embrace that. To facilitate broader discussion, we have also established the Uncrowned Debates Facebook Group. Here, members can continue the conversation, share additional resources, and connect with fellow debaters. Follow the debates, contribute your views, and be part of a community of thinkers and changemakers. The debates will be archived at the end of each month to preserve the integrity of the discussion and prevent the muddying of waters with outdated or irrelevant information. This practice ensures that each debate stands on its own, providing clear and focused insights into the issue at hand. We invite all members of the Uncrowned Legion community, as well as newcomers, to join us in this inaugural DOTM debate. Share your thoughts, challenge your perspectives, and be part of a community that values thoughtful discourse and meaningful interaction.

Check out our most recent changes! Update of Season of the Founders At Uncrowned Empire, our mission has always been to provide our community with free, easily accessible content. After much consideration, we have decided not to implement a seasonal-based content model for the foreseeable future. The reason is simple: we don't want to withhold content releases and updates just to ensure a seasonal package is filled with content. Our commitment is to timely, ongoing updates that serve our community's needs right when they arise. Waiting to release valuable content goes against this commitment and does not align with our ethos of free and open access to all our resources. As a result, we regret to announce that the planned 'Season of the Founders' will not be moving forward. However, this doesn't mean that we don't have exciting updates to share. In fact, we have several enhancements and new features that we'll be rolling out soon. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We're excited about the future, and we hope you are too. Light mode is now the default theme, dark mode is still available. Clubs are now located under the Forums menu. Support Ticket System removed from the menu. Clubs feature enabled. Currently, we will only be hosting "official" clubs to prevent the overuse of this feature with our small user base. Clubs can be found under the forum menu. Say hello to the Forums Addict Club! Promote your forum and find forums that you love! This is a group for both forum owners and forum users who just want more forums! Light mode is now the default theme, dark mode is still available. We would also like to introduce the new Uncrowned Community Partners program that is aimed at building bridges and working together with other communities. Say tuned for more info. We're excited to announce some changes coming to Uncrowned Gaming that we believe will greatly enhance your user experience. We've been listening to your feedback, and it's clear that our gaming-focused clubs hold a special place in the community. To better serve you, we're re-integrating these gaming clubs back into our main forum through our new 'Combined Forum List' feature. What this means is that you can now effortlessly navigate a consolidated series forum with topics from various games of each series, or if you prefer, dive into individual games through their sub-forums. But that's not all; this new feature will also include filtering options. If you're only interested in specific games, you can easily exclude others from your feed. This way, we hope to drive more traffic to these dedicated game forums while still maintaining a platform for detailed and tailored discussions. We're confident that these changes will contribute to a more engaging and streamlined experience on Uncrowned Gaming. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us, so please let us know what you think of the new updates! Clubs feature enabled. Currently, we will only be hosting "official" clubs to prevent the overuse of this feature with our small user base. Clubs can be found under the forum menu and at the bottom of our forums via the link. Individual games being listed as clubs has been undone and they will return as forums. Light mode is now the default theme, dark mode is still available. Forum was revamped into a more general gaming forum. Too many changes to list!
