Well, I'm calling it 5M. I did think about 5MN, but that's just not "right" the way 5M is -- mathematicians and programmers will understand what I mean. (5M* makes sense that way too, but it's harder to say.) If 5MN really catches on with you guys, however, I'll think about adopting it.

Scooter: Yeah, that was a substitute front page I put there to keep you guys from finding the new OC fivers. I have two Five-Minute OC audiences elsewhere (at TWoP and LJ), and I've written a number of fivers that those guys got to see first because they were being saved for Cliffhanger Week.

Hotaru: That was an accident. Several parts of Cliffhangers have been written since last year (which is also the reason for the Cassini-Huygens glitch Mat pointed out), and Kira processed them long ago. I've removed the later parts now.

evay: I should emphasize again that the current graphics situation is temporary. There will be images for the subsites by the time we're done; our main banner and the category banners will be different too.

Derek: They do? Do you mean the category banners on the front page? Yeah, they do look sort of B5ish... but again, those are temporary ones I whipped together. Note that they're .bmps, for example. My crappy image program won't save .pngs properly.

cmdrxizor: Welcome to the forums! We did consider "Versions" (or "Voyages" or another V-word), but decided this was just simpler all round.

PHJ: What's a 3M?
