GOGlin, because:
1. let's face it, goblins are more frequent in RPGs than troglodytes (i, personally, saw troglodytes only in HOMM3);
2. GOGlin can be a reference to Linux (GOG + Linux) and linuxoids (GNU/Linux users in Russia call themselves this way)!
So, i prefer goglin.

Call me boring but I'd rather be referred to as a GOG forum member.
Most if the alternatives sound like euphemisms for something you do to a passed out person at a frat party.

Not to mention that at least in the case of Japanese, my impression is that they're actually better at pronouncing R rather than L. Case in point: Here's an episode from an old anime whose protagonist is called Sally - the way I hear it, it is pronounced as Sari instead, so R isn't a problem at least for the Japanese, while L is something that could cause problem in their pronounciation of e.g Goglin instead (as that one includes L)...

1. let's face it, goblins are more frequent in RPGs than troglodytes (i, personally, saw troglodytes only in HOMM3);
2. GOGlin can be a reference to Linux (GOG + Linux) and linuxoids (GNU/Linux users in Russia call themselves this way)!
So, i prefer goglin.
1) You totally forget GOGer and overly focus on Troglodyte -also forget the Rpgs, they aren't the center of the universe!
2) Also everyone who doesn't care about Linux, which is like at least 80% of the people out there, isn't going to appreciate us forcing an awful naming on their throats with the linux excuse...
That could be a good middle way if it weren't for the fact that it's kind of long -Gog Forumite is shorter, but doesn't sound as formal I guess...

I'm for goglodyte, it has a nice ring to it and it would be something captain Haddock would've come up with.

GOGer/GOGger is so boring, they might as well call us "Dear Valued GOG.com Customers". No thanks.
GOGlin and GOGlodyte are both nice. I love bad puns.
GOGnard makes the most sense etymologically, but... maybe a bit obscure.
As a Witcher fan I might also go for or [url=http://witcher.gamepedia.com/Fogler]GOGlet - but of course this isn't just a Witcher forum, despite what some new users seem to think. :-P
