Is anyone currently 'on-hold' for full-time at GS? And does anyone know what the chances of receiving an offer are after being on hold with them?

It means they've already given out offers to their first choice candidates and you're second in line. I'm sure there are other people on hold from your superday as well. Realistically the chances of getting an offer are very low, not many people turn down GS IBD.
^^What this guy said. Offers go out the same day or next day after final round. Goldman typically likes to keep people warm, so they're not going to reject you right away (though not true of some satellite offices, which will let you know via phone call exactly one week after the super day that you've not been chosen). It could be a while before you are given the official rejection. When you're on hold at any bank, generally chances are quite low--especially when it's a firm everyone wants to work for. Move on to your next best option.
have you receive any decision yet? I am "on hold" too, but for different division
what was your final job application status?
Apologies for a slight hijacking of the topic, but what if you've been on hold for about 2 months? Would you say that your chances are higher -- meaning that if everyone had accepted offers, you would have been rejected?
Would you say that the more time passes, the higher the chances, as the people who haven't responded probably won't? I'd appreciate any insight on this (not a GS offer).
