So you're saying they deliberately did not transfer the order histories just to piss off their customers and run them off? And you're comfortable making that rationalization?

No what I am saying is that they are lazy for not doing this. I work with databases all day long and I know that with some time and effort they could have made it work so your account info could have been moved to the new site. 

But you don't know exactly what they had to do, do you? Unless you were part of the team putting this together. I'm not doubting your experience, I don't know except for what you've told me, and I don't if that's true or not. I AM assuming that they had some reason, other than laziness, for not doing it. They did say they rewrote everything from scratch, so I don't know what they did or didn't do, but unless you were there, it's a safe bet that you're making unsubstantiated assumptions.

Now if someone at CP wants to come forward and say you're right...
