One of the earliest prolific players of Youtube Poop Tennis was RabbitSnore, who was the lead admin of the Youchew forums alongside his real life friend Thereisnospoon303(often called TINS for short) in the era that immediately followed the reign of Conrad Slater. A general chat thread unique to the newly made tennis subforum, called The Poop Tennis Cafe, was opened in the forums (and also on the backup site, Planet Freedom) in January 2008. This thread was made to discuss matches past and present, set up future matches between people, including a roster listing people that they want to play or have already played that might including variations of rules, and to have "refreshments". It would in time garner a notable reputation of mainly being a spammy thread of tennis staff members and its regulars sharing inside jokes to each other, often in the form of various different images. After 4 months of managing the section on his own, and following the forum switch-over from its Vanilla layout, Rabbit employed the first version of a new mod staff unique to the tennis subforums on the evening of May 7th, 2008 to deal with tennis related threads such as moving threads, updating rosters, and hosting tourneys. The staff at this time was made up of 7 members, with Crash2991, NS2, TheHappyFungus, Nuthead, strong414bad, and RAKninja being the new additions, mainly for being the most active posters in the Cafe and thusly having the closest connections with Rabbit. In time, they would quickly become popularly known as the Tennis Fucks, a term coined by RAKninja and used frequently by him to describe his fellow staff.

It is also regarded that Youchew moderator/administrator Emperor Ing was always considered by the original staff as an "unofficial fuck", while never actually being on the staff itself due to him already being instated with moderator and later administrator powers, but having very in-depth involvement with the staff's activities in the early years to the point where he was considered just as essential. It is because of this that he is recognized as having served the staff in the past by retaining the official service medal and also has a round made in a special multi-way match reserved exclusively for staff members only.

Besides just having moderation powers, the Fucks have over time informally acquired a status and reputation of being "experts" at tennis, due to each member throughout its history having their own unique takes on the game, their own theories and their own perspectives on how different tennis matches play out, in addition to historically usually having some of the greatest passion for the sport out of all tennis players.
