How you deal with rude / hateful people is really just a measure of 'maturity', there are so many of these guys online the only thing thing you can do is ignore it. If you let any one of them press your buttons then you are just playing into them. You are going to get pointless criticism no matter what you do, it's simply a measure of sucess. If you are getting to more people online, you are going to see more of it, nothing to get depressed or all worked up over.
Other than the effects of moving to BT, you can understand the changes of the time just by looking at the archtypical recruit. In 2000 digisubbing was new, cutting-edge, unknown and somewhat exclusive, you couldn't be part of it without being involved with some controversy and processes weren't to well understood. These days everyone already knows how to do everything, raws are easily attainable, most new recruits already know what shows they want to do, largely understand how to do them and don't expect controversy or any real sense of mystery / discovery in the process. Every new hobby goes through this process, ie. can it survive when it's no longer 'new' and 'cutting-edge' or does it fade away just like disco rock, yo-yo's, video arcades or virtual pets. Just be glad that fansubbing has survived through this cycle and is still around today.
