Seems to me that it has become very difficult for new people to use the website. I used to have another account which I lost the credentials for so have created a new one.
Lately I have been getting constant "502: Bad Gateway" errors. They locked my account without telling me, allowing me to deposit bitcoins without being able to withdraw, even as bitcoins.
Happens from time to time. I run a bot against Gox with a simple retry strategie. When I look at the stats of my bot, I see almost no longer outages. The service is normally available. Gox is stronger than others on automated trading and often a victim of DDOS-attacks, so that's no big story.
The recent problems with the bitcoin withdrawals are annoying, but probably nothing to worry about. Gox is likely to have earned a lot of Bitcoins in the last years. They were very early in the game. Long before any china exchange. Best is to wait and withdraw when everything has calmed down. Mostly the hot wallets of Gox are empty. The refilling from cold wallets is maybe a complicated and multistage process. I can understand, however, that Gox not reveal details. All other exchanges disappear sooner or later. But not Gox, I wonder why.
