Right - it though would had followed the first paragraph of the site
and worked for improving the situation instead of creating a fork of the
service the site tries to offer.

What they see is that it is encouraged and explicitly invited to
contact the people involved with the services you want to use
beforehand, not create an external site and then request redirect of the
existing service to that external site, insisting on that the existing
service is dysfunctional without any approach to try to get that fixed.

Sounds good, thanks for the suggestion.

You mean like you stated in your blog entry about this? Only speak for
yourself. That your accusion isn't received too well, especially without
any approach about getting things fixed, is just natural.
