Trading VHS tapes that were copies of copies, going all the way back to the fan sub group (or guy), and that being the only practical way of getting subbed anime.

Good shows.

Waiting several days, if not weeks, for subs.

You can still feel the effects of the Hi10P shitstorm if you use a Raspberry Pi or something like that to watch anime.
The shitstorm over softsubs with subgroups fighting against it with reasons like "hardsubs make it harder for bootleggers to steal our content".
rmvb's lesser evil cousin, divx.
"H264 will never get popular because people can't encode with it in real-time", I know, hilarious but still stayed me while browsing Doom9. Also relying on .avi hacks to make it have h264.
AMV Hells, granted they're shit past first one from the inception and I'm glad they died.
Having your subgroup staff credits embedded into the OP/ED or group logos, hardsubbed, cancer.
The emergence of "speed"subs which usually just meant less dick waving present in the file with less TL notes. Good riddance.
AnimeJunkies, original drop kings Shinsen, YourMom, what other notorious groups were active back then?
My own fuck abysmal dvdrips of certain series done on military weekend leaves decade ago.
