THIS.
Especially day[9]
Maybe because there are very few people who play BW?

haha, hope this is some awful bait, because that's well stupid.
reminds me a lot of the cs 1.6 - cs:source-discussion. i play (played more like it) source, but i prefer bw.

Well, for people who loved brood war and have spent so much time and energy into it, it's quite surprising that they stop giving a fuck once the next game is out.
Can't really imagine Flash saying "Fuck BW, there is a version which is newer and betterer, I'll never play this game again."
From someone like Idra or even Artosis, I can understand that the fact of not having 574767 koreans on top of your head without any hope of being ever better than tem, and finally having a chance of being the best with "fair" competition can be liberating.
I remember an interview of ForGG where he was asked what he would do when SC2 was coming out. He answered that he would play BW until it dies and always be faithful to that game. <3

if i had a dollar for every person who said 'i wish i could play sc2 but my comp SuXXXX' i'd be a rich man
those same people defend brood war to the hilt because they fear waking up to an empty iccup server one day , when they upgrade their pc they'll probably move on like the rest of us have

They don't stop caring about BW, but their is new game out there and there are ton of new opportunities for them here. For example Day9 has been getting enormous amount of new people who want to get better at sc2.
Day9 and Artosis still tuning in to Brood war tournaments, but as far as producing new content goes it's better to focus on starcraft 2 because it's far more popular.

No? Some people actually enjoy the game and prefer it over starcraft 2. Just because it's a newer game doesn't mean everyone likes it. Once again i can refer to the 1.6 / cs:s-discussion. Do you think everyone who plays 1.6 does it because they got a shitty computer?
i remember back in 96/97 i was a massive warcraft 2 fan , i never thought starcraft would be as good as warcraft 2.I didn't actually play starcraft until 3-4 months after it came out but when i did i put War2 down for good.How many of the people still siding with brood war have never even played SC2?

I do not know that many that plays bw or sc2 for that matter, but I certanly know my own opinion. Played enough beta to tell I prefer bw, I don't even plan on getting sc2. Throwing out some bullshit about the ones that plays bw doesn't a good enough computer/money for one is pretty funny though, gotta admit.

i have. and yes, i was actually decent, though it was a while ago.
not even 4v4s or 3v3s in sc2 are as fun as they are in bw. + Show Spoiler +

I played during the beta and was disappointed, my computer handles SC2 fine. I'm still into BW.
I dont know who said it, but watching SC2 isn't nearly as exciting as watching BW. BW has so many "OMG" moments such as, MINE DEBAK, PLAYGUUUU, awesome scarabs (and retarded scarabs), hold position lurkers, storms were more epic, recalls were more common, units were more microable. The list goes on and on. I hope that with the expansions for SC2 they bring in more units like this...because without them there's nothing for the korean casters to scream about.
