Yeah, I recently realized "5M.net" has the disadvantage of providing no easy term for the fans. 5MVers works; 5M.netters doesn't.
And some groups have made a case (which I agree with, FWIW) for using "black" rather than "African-American." The latter term makes two implications that aren't necessarily true, and there's no parallel term for white people -- they're just Americans. "Black," on the other hand, is simple and accurate. There's further debate over capitalization, which is a harder sell, but does make sense in light of "Hispanic" and "Asian."
