New account sounds like a lot hassle to me. Its pretty unprofessional if they can't transfer over data and everything because quite frankly i am not fond of making yet another account and putting out my data on the net another time. Nah I just forget CP ever existed and get the few things I would have bought there from the vendors in their other stores.
CP always seemed cluttered sluggish and slow to me with totally unprofessional support when I needed it. Now it has become totally useless and not worth a cent of my money.
