Not those kinds of ads. We aren't launching a Frankly+ subscription. Yet..
The last couple of months have been stacked on Origins. With the 2nd anniversary of the games launch and World Cup celebrations there has very much been a buzz back in the hotel. This has been largely due to the contributions from members of the community- we want to keep that momentum going!
I’m excited to announce my new role as community manager for Frankly. Steve wanted to me to introduce myself but I don’t think that’s interesting so here’s the tl;dr:
- I’m Ads (short for Adam not advertisements)
- Habbo since 2007
- Gamer
- Tall
- Occasional Twitch streamer
Habbo has taught me one lesson in the almost 20 years (on and off) that I’ve been playing:
Games don’t build a community, communities build the game.
Events like the 2026 community day are a prime example of this. A group of creators and event hosts coming together to provide a day of entertainment and activities to get involved in. Over 18 hours of back-to-back Habbo streams, events, social competitions and exclusive in-game rewards. The hotel felt alive again, all by the power of what the community can achieve together.
There is a reason people come to Origins but there are also reasons why people don’t. Time and time we have seen the same pattern repeating of something new and exciting happening or being added to the game, but as quick as the excitement comes it’s gone and things feel stagnant for a while again. It’s feedback I’m hearing repeatedly in conversations with other players.
What can be done to change that?
COMMUNITY!
We want to make sure that when you check-in there’s something fun to get involved in or something new to look forward to. This sentiment is shared across other Origins fan sites, so we won’t be doing it alone.
We all want the same thing and moving forward we will be collaborating to make it happen. Teaming up with great fansites and working alongside talented Event Creators will help us build a community roadmap for the future that will make you want to keep coming back.
More details will be coming out soon about what we’ll be doing here at Frankly. If you have any suggestions or feedback then join the discussion on Discord and let us know.
One last thing from me - with this new focus we are also looking to grow the Frankly team. I understand that the player base is now full of grown Habbos with lives and responsibilities and we don’t want to take away any of the fun by adding to that.
There is no commitment when joining us here at Frankly, how much you contribute is completely up to you. Whether you’re interested in writing, drawing, animating or hosting, we’re grateful for any and all support to help Frankly grow.

I'm really excited to be part of Frankly, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the hotel!
