Who would have thought a magic the gathering exchange would result in such traffic, controversy, and profit for the creator. Here's to hoping we get a more professional exchange on day -__-

MT.GOX has added a period between the T and the G on their new logo, so clearly it's their intent to be "mount gox".

Fuji-sama is a wonderful place (I like she is a her).  mtgox isn't anywhere near as beautiful.

Magic The Gathering Online Exchange

At least, that's what it was orginaly.  The site neither shares the original intent of the founder, nor any of it's codebase anymore, so it's become a kind of branding; like Amazon doesn't really tell you that they started off selling books online, either.

Like I always think of it as mt.gox i.e. you say, 'mount gox' but is this an illusion??
Anybody know what 'mt' stands for??? Or even 'gox' for that matter  Cheesy
