There are a lot of stupid SC2 fans who come into the BW forums and go "BW is going to die lol play Starcraft". They go into BW threads, make stupid statements about how this that our the other is the rise of SC2 mua-ha-ha. They are usually wildly inaccurate. ("Yellow is retiring because SC2 > BW". Wrong for reasons so obvious I won't get into it)
There are a lot of stupid BW fans who go into the SC2 forums and go "lol SC2 is a shitty game for stupid people play Brood War". They go into SC2 threads, make stupid statements about BW is a better game and BW players are better people. They are usually wildly inaccurate ("There's nothing that discourages leaving units clumped". Fungal, Banelings, landmines, storms, EMPs...)
Then there was the KeSPA Lawsuit, which made a lot of of BW fans unhappy at SC2. (Because it had SC2 and BW literally against one another). This becomes self-enforcing, because every bad thing that happens to BW is seen as SC2's fault (I keep expecting to see a conspiracy thread accusing Dustin Browder of Tonya Harding-ing Flash's wrist)
Then there was the Elephant in the Room article, which made a lot of SC2 unhappy at BW (Because it said that SC2 was only played by lazy assholes, and the game would probably be good if real many BW men showed scrubs like Nestea how to play). That "BW fans > SC2 fans" had been around for a while, but seeing it as a front-page article infuriated a lot of people
tl;dr: A lot of BW fans hate SC2 because they perceive SC2 as being a direct threat to BW. A lot of SC2 fans hate BW because they hate the BW community.
But mostly, it's just trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling Mormons trolling trolls.

That's because all the BW trolls go to the SC2 forums.

Alot of people may not agree with this but this is just my opinion.
I miss the times when Starcraft:BWwas just Starcraft:BW, barely any trolls, alot of exciting tournaments, no immature kids. Just a very good community, i would say 2006-2009 were the best years for BW. Now BW is getting more and more problems.
When SC2 arrived people(alot of foreigners) started to play that because of it's graphics, not knowing anything about BW except maybe "Koreans are good at it". Now there are lots of immature kids, trolls, progamer wannabe's, "SC2 is better then BW" fights.
I feel like SC2 ruined alot of BW.
I don't hate SC2, i play it but i'm not liking all the problems BW is getting because of this.

Probably because every time a sc2 "fan" posts in the broodwar forum its to celebrate bad news and speculate about how good it will be for the sc2 community.
I imagine it would be something like your neighbor finding out your wife died so he shows up at your door asking if he can have her stuff. When you say no, he continues to show up every few weeks asking if he can have it now.

Just checked the threads on the MBCGame closing. Holy flame war, Batman!

Because Brood War fans are fantatics that can't tolerate anything other than Brood War and attack SC2 with every chance they get.

There does seem to be some trolling and hate, but overall, what I see makes me wish I found Starcraft and this site a long time ago. Or before SC2 launch, at the very least. The people in the BW forum are always more mature, helpful, respectful, etc.

Yep.
The people that come to this section of the community just to shit on BW deserve all the hate they get.
And vice-versa, I wish we could just get along. It's all still StarCraft, damnit.

On whose nerves? This is the BW forums, Sir, and I don't think that many users of the BW forums are offended by his "trolling". And if you have time, notice how I can write BW in Capslock TO EMPHASIZE IT without breaking any rules.

So it annoys you when someone points out SC2 trolls on a Brood War forum? You are attempting to compare that to your baseless remarks that ignore several pages worth of examples? You don't even attempt to hide your troll status when you do a simple copy-paste post.

Exactly  + Show Spoiler + The biggest criticism I have toward web format is the TLPD search bar now defaults to SC2, and you cant change the default. Not anything against SC2 itself, but it is certainly annoying to remember when looking up stats and names, and that frustration is often directed toward the SC2 influx.
A nice thing that I've found is if you use the search bar at the top, it'll list both SC2 and BW results and you can just click the right one. Essentially it'll be the same as the TLPD, but combined. Hopefully that'll save you some annoyance ;D
As for the OP, I think it's mostly just when people try to impose SC2 onto BW in such a way that's offensive, annoying, or rude. But for the most part, BW players are kind enough to just ignore/avoid SC2 if they don't agree with it. There's a good number of players who do play both however (myself included)
EDIT: What a frickin waste of my 100th post =_=

Sorry just read some of the other comments I must say it was pretty bad I'll accept my loss here. But I honestly just get the feel alot of Brood War fans are elitist people that just look down on other people because we play SC2.

How dare you? Talking about a key gen? Buy the game, support them.
Besides the above, I accept both with open arms.
