We're your damned customers. We're in your database. We have accounts already, we don't need to waste time creating new ones. If you're changing computers and datacenters, you get a programmer to port the data into the new system. You don't make everybody jump through hoops like a new customer. What the hell?

This is being managed so badly, it really does feel like there's something more going on than an "upgrade". It feels like an unplanned change of ownership or management, something hostile and without the cooperation of the existing managers.

If I'm wrong, fine. So, let's have a better explanation of why this is being mishandled so badly, please.
