Yep. They're technically link buttons, but... hey, wait a minute. They also still say 5MV. Crap!

Okay, take a deep breathe. Just repeat the Webmaster Mantra.
"The site is fine. It will never be perfect. To err is human, and to glitch Microsoft's problem."

Funny enough, I only just noticed today that the site had changed to Five minute.net, from Five minute Voyager.
It's weird because I'm usually quite good at noticing thing aroun.... Holy Crap, Uhuras black!? ...

Yet it is still known in the hearts and minds of many as '5MV'. And so it shall be.

Oh yeah, I may have trained myself to use 5M.net when necessary, but 5MV will always have a place in my heart. Too bad it spends almost no time there, 'cause it also rents a place in the city.
Oh, and that's African-American. I always found that amusing. White people aren't really white and "black" people aren't really black. The Andorians were right in calling us pinkskins, too bad that'll never catch on.

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."

Oh, a specific term for fiver fans; I never thought about that one. I just always called them "fiver fans." Simple enough, right?
Actually, it just occurred to me that we could use the term "fivie." You know, to parallel the classic Trekker/Trekkie debate. We already use the term fiver, so use fivie to describe a fan of fivers.
