What is the slang term for the inclusive Babylon 5 universe?

Fans of Joss Whedon's work refer to their world as "Whedonverse". Fans of Dr. Who are called "Whovians". How do B-5 fans refer to JMS, themselves, and/or the B-5 universe?

Only thing I've used or heard is "Babylonians". Works for me.

What about Fivers? lol I've never heard it used before. For some reason it just popped in my head.

I like it. We also call ourselves "Babblers" for obvious reason.

That's why we have the Babbleon forum (HI RW!!!).

OMG! You should be dancing after that one. That is great. Especially me. Looney is a "Babbler".

Wooo-Hooo!!! This Babbler has already babbled his way to a post score of 30. I know you are all impressed. Does this make the most posts ever? . . . . . .

Many of us are Lurkers going all the way back to the Lurker’s Guide. We just call it Babylon 5. The Straczynski-verse would contain many disparate properties.

Yeah I've always thought "Lurkers" could be the one to describe fans, but people outside the know of Babylon 5 tend to attach a negative connotation to that word. "Babylon 5 Universe" is what I call it because I don't really associate any of JMS' other work with B5, other than seeing references in language use and such.
