Absolutely MT Gox are scammers:

They scammed me for 7 BTC in the commission they charge.  I sold BTC for USD on MtGox in May believing the statement on their web site at the time that  they could deliver the USD to my bank account in 'up to two weeks' .  After 3 months they still never paid me the USD. This is called defaulting on a trade.  All I got was excuses from the support desk.    Eventually I gave up and bought back the BTC on Mt Gox (they got comission again!) and transfer the BTC to another exchange that doesn't default on trades.  The round trip of selling the BTC and then buying it back again cost me approx 7 BTC in  commission (the trades were approx 700 BTC each direction).   Those 7 BTC are now worth $8,400.     They ripped me off for 7 BTC by telling lies about their ability to  deliver the USD I bought from them.  I had no money or BTC with them now.

The reason they don't tell you about their problems is they don't want to jeopardize the money they are making from suckers like me.  I despise Mt Gox. They are cheats and liars.     Try coinbase if you are in the US. 

Coinbase beats the shit out of Mt. Gox as well.  Money in my account in 2-3 days, every time.

Gox is still making shitloads of money every day, and it's not as if there's any other exchange that would be immune to the regulatory hassles that Gox has gotten into.

I like Coinbase because they reliably give me my money within a few days.

I don't like that the price is low-ish at Coinbase sometimes, at least compared to Mt. Gox where their operational problems probably do cause some price inflation, and there is some price lag so I might have to sit on my hands for a few days before pushing the purchase button when the spot price is on an up-swing.  Usually their price is better than Bitstamp though it seems.  Certainly better than BTC-E.

At the end of the day, Coinbase so far gives me reliable service and does not require me to submit high quality identity documents which could be used for identity theft if they were mis-managed.  Also, unlike Mt. Gox, they have never lied to me or tried to set invalid expectations.  So far I've run $50k through Coinbase while Mt. Gox has been sitting on my $5k since last summer and still has not gotten it to me or provided any information about the delay.  The one time I asked about it many months ago, Mt. Gox gave me misleading info which they must have know was untrue.

You know what pisses me off. i was ready to sell when It hit $1200... As I was reading this, it hit $1240. When I realized I was not going to get my money from MTGOX if I sold... DAMN! now its back in the 638 range. FUKC!

Very bad! I'm waiting the wire since September.

I find it funny that anybody would still have money with gox seeing as one could easily have withdrawn btc and sold for a profit on other exchanges during the past few days.

Cancel your withdraws, buy BTC, wait until the price is slightly higher elsewhere and then sell. Violla, no more wiating for withdraw at gox.

If your in the EU, check out BTC-e, their EUR price is nice and they usually have next day transfers.

If you're in the US, try out coinbase, their price is the same as bitstamp and they deposit right to your bank account.

So simple...
