Okay.  I'm officially sick of Gox.  This last few days have been awful.  I'm thinking of moving to BTC-e.  Anything in particular I should watch out for?

Just the Russians closing their doors and leaving with your BTC a la Sheep Marketplace style. Or someone closing their bank account etc... with the same results, without any known person or company to follow. People bitch about Gox (and for good cause) but there's a reason that it's the only place where all of the big whales play at and every other exchange follows. Even after stopping all USD withdrawals, and a month SEPA withdrawals they're still like #1 (or so) exchange, think about it

bitstamp, low fees, trust, less lag etc. all there and you don't have to deal with marks goxxing
btc-e has lower fees and superior trade engine. there is some give and take.

you don't have to trade much to get 0.2% fee on stamp and i would not send major portion of my btcs to btce, but yes you're right maybe there are some give and takes
