Open Source Dickishness

Stop making blaming statements and fork the project if you don't like what they did or are doing. Stop guessing at what they might do with the project - you aren't them and you don't know. Listing reasons like 'the URL would change' is just a rationalization to stop you from doing what you already know is the right thing. Clearly there was already discontent with the host and the community of maintainers. Time for a fresh start!
