I do love a good strike! *dons red t-shirt*
I can see both sides (of the striking issue), and although 'they weren't asked to make them', they did, and if they hadn't someone else would have done because they are more useful than the in-game tools. People have worked hard on these and it reflects poorly on FD that in this instance the communication has been, from the OP's comments, fairly mixed (at best).
That said striking should be a last resort and maybe a community poll asking for support would have been better as a first effort. Still, I'm not one of the developers of the sites, so it's hard for me to appreciate the frustration.
You have my support.
