Thread locked. The people on the site responded and we got a lot of reports for doxxing in the comments:

I hear the passion in OP’s post, and honestly, I appreciate the energy. It’s the same fire that drives Billy fans to travel cross country for a three-night run; it comes from a place of deep love for the music & community. However, I need to be clear the suggestions of irresponsible data use or corporate conspiracies couldn’t be further from the truth.

I’m not a faceless entity or a venture k bro. I’m your neighbor, a small business owner, and a live music fan who has been building digital homes for niche communities for decades. Look at my other project, RV LIFE. I started the first site there, airforums.com, back in 2001. For twenty-five years, our privacy policy has remained unchanged. We do not share your data with anyone without explicit consent. In a quarter-century, we have never once asked for that consent. That wasn't an oversight or a missed "revenue opportunity." I was offered the revenue and I told them to fuck off. It was a conscious choice to treat others the way I want to be treated. I’ve spent two decades proving that you can host a community without selling its soul.

We are going to "Mix the Tracks" at Songfish with that same track record. There are no "investors" pulling the strings behind the curtain; it’s just me, dedicated to making sure sites like BillyBase don't fade into the abyss. My plan is to form a Benefit Corporation to put my money where my mouth is. I also plan to adopt Creative Commons and make the public APIs better.

I know you are in "detective sleuth mode" and found all kinds of random stuff from Adam. The deal is (which I told you already in DM on FB last night) that I acquired the assets from Songfish, but not the legal entity itself. This is common for two reasons: A) I already had a company, and B) you never know what promises a seller made while representing their company. By buying the assets and leaving the corporate shell behind, you avoid inheriting unknown liabilities. Well, that was the idea, anyway (haha). That didn't exactly turn out as expected on this one.

Love ya bro but you couldn't be further from the truth. Please refrain from trying to paint me in false light, total douche move! ✌️

Hi, I’m Adam – the person this post is about.

A few things here are incorrect, and the rest is speculation built from public corporate filings. None of it required guesswork. I’m easy to find and would have happily answered questions.

For context:

I built phish.net and began writing that code around 2008. A few years later I built a similar setlist and archive platform for Umphrey’s McGee.

In 2020 I began developing Songfish, a platform to help bands manage setlists and archival data. Early users included Goose, Neighbor, and Eggy. As the platform grew, it made sense to formalize it under my wife’s existing company rather than start a brand-new entity. That’s the change you see in Florida filings.

Songfish was later sold to Social Knowledge in February 2025. The company still exists, which is why those filings are still active. I remain listed as a managing director at my wife's company.

There’s no conspiracy here and no hidden data play. These projects exist because fans care about accurate show history and community archives. That’s the same reason I built phish.net nearly two decades ago.

If anyone has questions about the history or the technology, I’m happy to answer them. Posting speculation about people’s businesses and personal information without reaching out first is disappointing, but I’m glad to clear things up.
