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).

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

Only access the site on your personal devices. Problem solved.

Balls out may hit some filters.

RBIman doesn't imply the Phillies and will just seem odd in a few years. ThatBallIsOuttaHere is a bit awkward and dated.

OuttaHere would feel like the nickname for the whole site, like Fugees.

Aside from honoring Smitty with a subforum, PhansOnly sounds like a great subforum too, for content deemed as such

I’d rather give the choice to moma if he’s doing the heavy lifting for the next board and we’re at a dead heat. Unless he wants rbimen, then let someone else pick.

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.

I tried to find something about it and it didn't seem to make sense. Do guys give the women money to join their "club" and see naked pics of the women? It seemed like you bought access for $10-15 to see an individual woman's content, so if you wanted to choose 5 women, you would pay $50-75.

Is that right?

If so, what a racket.

I am trying to think if we run into a Phillies fan and want them to join and be active which name may be best to use.
