Only fans is a place for lonely old guys that like to waste money. I sort of think it makes a joke of that. I am probably way off.
Do it again!

Do you know what onlyfans is?


I do now, but I still don’t understand why it would be a good name for the new site

If you were just a kid during the WS, and most Phils fans were recruited during that era,then you heard it, you know it, and you were taught it, and that's the kind of old-school memory that keeps us insider-y enough. If that phrase is out of touch, well, I don't need any 14 year old posting on here anyway.



They play a recording of Harry saying it in CPB whenever a Phillies hits a HR, I think it's still in the lexicon and known.

It’s a reference to a subscription porn site called OnlyFans where you subscribe to the content creators themselves rather than the site. Someone had suggested OnlyPhans, which picked up steam but several people mentioned that it would probably get blocked by their work filters and may attract the wrong kind of clientele to our wholesome family-friendly messageboard. PhansOnly was a compromise that still let us have the joke without any of the accompanying issues (while spelling “fans” with a “ph” identifies it as a Philly board).

Since I was pushing for the Kalas nod in another thread, I am very much behind the ThatBallIsOuttaHere.com movement.

Vox kind of coins it in his farewell post so it's an homage in a way, it keeps the same spirit of an announcer catchphrase named site and well, it's just a better, more iconic announcer near and dear to our hearts.

I know it’s late in the game and it’s not particularly clever, but how about:

phanz.com

It’s simple, available and gets the job done.

It won't show up in a google search for Phillies websites though.

Kind of looks like "ball" is spelled with three ls (I realize one is an I).

Is "thatballsouttahere.com" available?

OuttaHere would be cool if phans was added.

Doesn’t seem like a good idea to go with a name that could get flagged by work filters, I know a few people had issues with BSG and their work filters, feel like it’s a bad idea to even flirt with that potential for others to get blocked out
