Yeah, I thought it was a foxes myself ... but what do I know, I just drive by. For a long time I avoided this place because of the name itself (seriously) ... who wants to tell their friends ya hang out with a bunch of Phuks - LOL. No offense.

yeah, that was part of the fun early on. Now in public, I pronounce it "Pucks" and say that the H is silent because it's Dutch. "We have members from around the world" lol

I'm just an old guy - LOL - so may be more offensive to my delicate sensibilities than the vast majority of your audience, not that I'm a prude, either. I do wonder though after having those original thoughts, how many others might be turned off by it too.

It's not just you or your age. I also raised my eyebrows at the name, but I wasn't consulted, not that I have any brilliant ideas.

The idea of a name that's a play on a word or phrase (Reddit - "read it" and Voat - "vote") is all fine and good, but seriously...any other word might've been more acceptable.

Every time somebody IRL asks me how to spell Phuks I just smile and tell them to figure it out by themselves
