Oh boy. I've got a friend with over 2,000 BTC in Gox. He's not going to enjoy hearing this.
Seriously, he needs to put his coins somewhere safer. Only keep at Mt.Gox money that you can afford to lose!
Don't know how to say this, but I think we got robbed.

anyone got a way to contact Mark directly?
This is getting fcking ridiculous.

Did a double digit withdrawal (last coins in GOX). It's been over 24 hours and nothing.
I just tried a test to withdraw .1 and nothing yet. Its been an hour.
Just received my withdrawal. PHEW! Took a little over 24 hours. I'm sad to hear that others have been waiting longer. 
Well, so long Mt. Gox, I'm never using you again.

During the time I made my 42btc withdrawal I made a series of smaller ones (about 3-4 withdrawals). All of the small ones got through, one of them got stuck the same way the big one did but it came through today. Now I have been waiting for about 50 hours....

I fixed that for you. Oh boy. I've got a friend with over 2,000 BTC in Gox. He's not going to enjoy hearing this.

Over 48hours and nothing. Support has stopped replying as well. Seriously beginning to totally doubt gox as a service now

I am coming up on 24hrs with no BTC delivered from Gox yet. Sheesh what a pain.
Why can those failed withdrawals get mined again? If the coins have been created once, how can they be created again?
This is about transactions, not newly mined coins.One a transaction has been signed, it's valid as long as no conflicting transactions get added to the blockchain first. Once it's been broadcast to the network it could potentially be added to the blockchain at any time.
If a signed transaction is broadcast but not immediately added to the blockchain by miners, the only way to make sure that it doesn't go through later on is to send those same inputs back to yourself and make sure the second transaction does.
I made a withdrawal of 10 BTC from Gox today and they went through within an hour. A bit slower than usual, but all went like a charm.
I am quoting this person from Wall observer thread who resumes the technical issue quite well:
All the bitcoins that get deposited into Mt Gox get dumped into a single pile.
Some of the coins are dumped in there by miners, whose coins can not be spent until 100 blocks after they were mined.
Some of the coins are only spendable if a Mt Gox employee grabs the private key out of safe or something.
The software Mt Gox uses to choose which coins to spend when customers want to withdraw bitcoins is apparently suboptimal.
If their software tries to spend a coin which has not matured (>100 blocks since being mined), the entire transaction ends up in limbo.
Another possible problem is that some transactions end up with too many inputs with an insufficient fee the transaction also ends up in limbo.
If a withdrawal transaction fails, Mt Gox has to double spend those inputs before trying the withdrawal again because otherwise there's a possibility the original transaction will suddenly get mined and they will irrevocably pay out twice.
so calm down folks, we will eventually get our coins soon, and its all beneficial while btc is still on rally mode.
Mine has nothing to do with newly minted coins, I don't even mine, been waiting since last night.

Can someone elaborate on the last paragraph:

That would explain the "double spending" that is occurring at the moment. Why can those failed withdrawals get mined again? If the coins have been created once, how can they be created again?
