The word "exit" has totally changed its meaning over the last 6 months.

It used to mean 'acquired company, including userbase, products, revenue streams etc'.

Now it means 'hired team and shutdown previous company'.

I think it's always just meant 'liquidity'.

I respectfully disagree. Exits have always had the potential to go that way..

The phrase "Exit, pursued by a bear" seems strangely appropriate

If someone is smart enough to figure a EULA that guarantees end-users that the site can't shutdown in such "exits", I'm interested.
