It is said that this site was founded in late 2003 right? Around November 2003?

The site went live in March 2003.

Was this site founded on the knowledge the originals would not be included on the 2004 DVDs or was it founded for other reasons?

The aim of the petition was always to get the original theatrical cuts on DVD - it was originally hosted on PetitionOnline, then later moved onto the site. 

On February 10th 2004, Lucasfilm officially announced that the DVDs due in September that year would contain the Special Edition versions (little did we know that there were to be further changes). The petition received thousands of additional signatures after this announcement.
