@bigsocrates: I think you have a point, and that approach is probably the best way to benefit from their recent acquisition.
If anyone can make it work in a corporate framework its Jeff. After all, he already has.
And a note for everyone talking about the feeling that its all happening without much explanation, "so long and thanks for all the fish" style...
Guaranteed that all parties are under NDAs. If not also non-compete clauses. I am sure the crew would love to provide more info and context, but companies protect their interests. Severance is often tied to signing such agreements.
That doesn't mean that they have horror stories to tell. Could be perfectly boring reasons for the departures, but I imagine they aren't saying a lot because of a combination of legal requirements and not wanting to bash the site you poured you work into.
It wouldn't be very cool to trash GB's future on your way out when Jeff, Jan, and Jason are left to plot the evolution of the site.
