They cancelled my withdrawal, about 3 hours after I requested it.
Now I put in another request. On the previous request which they cancelled, The verification email never came.
Please note I sent in all my documents and received a Bitstamp email confirming I was validated as such.

Offline for me as well. Damn it Bitstamp, I'm in fiat and want to buy back in 
same with me at least I managed to sell everything before it happened unfortunately I didnot manage to load in again... missed opportunity
but I hope they have strong security measurements - when people were able to hack Mtgox at times when BTC was $5 I expect it is only matter of time when some shit happen again - and this time it would be very hard to explain to thousands of people that they are very sorry and it will not happen again but as they know this is completely unregulated business....
what if IT admin from BitStamp thinks that his salary is not that big as it could be.....
or on the contrary his salary is so good so that he forget to check something or set passwords like 123456....
Currently it's up here. Allthough I live in Europe. I'm wondering whether that does even matter.. I don't think so.
They can't block Americans as easy as that. Especially not when you have some BTC stored there or something ^^

It's down again!
I'm in the USA, I can finally get into bitstamp. Am I supposed to use the
International Withdrawal for $15, or were there other options like ACH?
I have to call my bank and get the SWIFT code / IBAN or what?
No customer support phone number on bitstamp, or live support, only email tickets. Nice.
EDIT UPDATE:
I got my SWIFT code and bank address. Filled out the international withdraw form.
Says I need an email confirmation.
Guess what. No email confirmation forthcoming. Of course I checked my Spam folder.
Good game, bitstamp. Good game.

I'm still waiting since Nov 12 for my wire transfer to show up on my bank account

Finally got my order in. I don't dare try to cancel and place at a better point...
Looks smoother now, still slow but working. APIs still down
Working for me now. Let the selling commence.
Yeah, incapsula error again. I managed to request BTC withdrawal in the meantime though, last time I was able to log in it sit in queue. Hope it gets thru today 
Looks like a server overload. It happened before and always went back online so no need to panic. It happens when the market is very volatile like today.
It's a shame we can't trade and loosing our money. They should buy more server power.

Not so fast but it looks alive for the first time in the last 6 hours.
EDIT: nevermind, incapsula error again

Bitstamp loading now fast here from Switzerland and everything seems to work fine as it should.
EDIT: And down again...

Yes, the price is moving (Autorefresh of tab title works once you managed to load the home page), so I guess orders are still being processed, somehow.
Ok this is getting comical now. I managed to get it to load once and saw a spread of $20-30 between buy/sell asks. But it still doesn't work overall.
Dude this is not comical at all. Looks like I just lost $21,000 (wire transfer requested @ 12/11). I'm buying a ticket to Slovenia.
I wouldn't panic YET... it looks like trades are still executing every now and then, and I am able to log in briefly, but not long enough to make a trade. If Bitstamp was running off, I think the whole thing would just be gone...
If they did just f*ck us, I'll meet you in Slovenia.

seriously can't think of a worst error message on the exchange that "it's gone" i mean i guess maybe "i'm on a plane to south america with all your bitcoins" would be worse but not by much.
