Nutters, Phrauds, Phakes, and Fuppets: Oh my!
How about: “Those who fight 5GW-style!”

I can see a long comment coming up, so I’m leaving it there. ;)

I’ve mostly focused on the organization as in 5GW organization.
I also use 5GW actors and 5GWarriors.
I kind of like Fivers and 5actors. The only problem with this is that outside of this corner of the blogoshpere nobody would have any clue what you are talking about.
I’ve always loved Curtis’ Prawns (proxies/pawns) and I just used 5GW Starfish to describe an organization, maybe some other kind of sea life fits 5GW? How about Atlanteans.

Given that, I guess I will use a combinations of: 5GW Actor, 5GW Orgs, 5GWer.
Prawn or Fuppet would have been fun - especially when typing late at night!
