I see Britcoin has pulled a "superman III".

Before the migration I made sure I had emptied it out (I'm afraid I didn't trust that there would be no problems; fortunately the Intersango chaps seem more competent than Mt Gox).

Now; it was always the case (annoyingly) that you couldn't withdraw to more than two decimal places of accuracy of bitcoins; and of course you couldn't for fiat.  That meant I had tiny decimal balances left on my account.

After the migration, those tiny decimals seem to have been chucked away.

My question then is: if there are a few thousand users, and it's not hard to get odd fractions when you're bitcoin trading, where has all that money gone?  Maybe it adds up to a hundred quids worth, maybe not, it doesn't matter though; where's it gone?  Want it as a migration charge?  Fine, tell us that, just taking it is a bit cheeky though.

(As a side note: the only thing I really cared about for migration, given that I'd moved all the funds, was the account history, but I see that's vanished too.  Was it really that hard to write a converter?  Anything would have been better than nothing.  In particular its a shame to lose bitcoin transfer history, since there is no bank statement to reconstruct those operations, and they are being done outside our private wallets so all recordings of what we moved where are just gone?)
