If true, you are a prodigy. Well, I played SCII quite a bit(about 1000 games total) and I was a solid mechanics player, which means that my mechanics in BW are not absolutely disgusting(as in I can keep my money below 4000 minerals/1000 gas for the midgame). Also, as I stated in the OP I did play BW a bit non-seriously(just against friends) and I did watch pro games a bit. I never really played seriously at all, though, which is what I'm trying to do right now. EDIT: And in TvP/TvT, the games I played so far I was able to keep my money below 1700/500.
Note from when I was learning brood war. First look at scv count and then your money in the bank. SCV production is like 3x harder in bw (fucking no automine + no mbs) so having low money is probably your second step
That being said I'd love to play with anyone in this thread. I posted a blog about playing bw over the summer but really haven't gotten on that.

Terran is my best, then zerg, and my protoss sucks

I would also like to get into BW, as a nice break from SC2, even though I am shit at SC2 (mid plat)

Garena is the best server for newcomers to BroodWar. 
Then, when you want to improve yourself a bit more seriously - you have to go to ICCup, learn exact build orders from replays or from Liquipedia, and practice each of them for several games, to get familiar with them.

This is absolutely disgusting ._.
Not to be rude, but in the midgame, anything over 1k/1k means your game needs serious work <_<

Hey, man, it's better than 8000/5000, which I was at a while ago. Recently I've been getting it lower and lower, and last game i played I managed to keep it under 1K/1K. Honestly, I'm just mass-gaming at this point to work on everything.

Haha, no I was serious.  The transition in macroing from SCII to BW is steep. However, I'm keeping my money lower and lower every game. Also, I only really float a TON in TvZ. Other than that, right now, I'm able to keep them below 1k/1k.

hey shoot me a pm anytime you want to play. i am a zerg c/c+ high.

I'm B- Terran, probably around C/C+ Protoss but only my PvT is actually really decent...and my Zerg is definitely my worst but it's at least C-, if anyone wants a few practice games on iccup PM me ^_^

A helpful macro tip is that if you find yourself with too many resources and all your unit producing buildings are in use, then you should simply add more unit producing buildings.
And don't queue up too many units just to keep your minerals low. Having 1 unit in the production queue (that is, in addition to the one you're currently building) is in virtually all cases the max you should be at.
I'm glad people are discovering BW. It's such a fun game!

Yeah, I don't queue up units. However, I have trouble fitting all of the unit producing structures in my base.
EDIT: Fitting them and depots and other stuff. It seems like there's never enough room.

Usually TvZ you should queue up 1 marine(thats like the max id ever do) if your money is running a bit high, if your money is still low then id add more buildings or another factory and make more tanks if you dont think youre competent with your SK Terran
Also, try to just keep all your depots together and put port + other stuff out of your barracks way.
It takes a bit but just be patient with placing your buildings and you'll be good about it later on

Hahaha, yeah, that's not a joke. If you accidentally find yourself with over 1k minerals or gas, you're doing something wrong.

That's half the fun of it, haha. If you wanna see some impressive base sim city, look at some really good Fastest / BGH players, they are hella good at putting 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.

My utter inability to lay out a base efficiently is one of the main reasons I want to kill myself whenever I offrace.
I just want to plop my hatcheries down and not feel claustrophobic.

The key is usually to put production buildings (hatcheries, gateways, barracks, factories, etc.) on one side of your base and put everything else (tech buildings, upgrades stuff, supply depots, whatever) on the other side. It's just more efficient that way to keep your unit production steady and it's always nice to not have to search all over your base to find hidden hatcheries or factories lol. I like to line my gateways in a pretty line
