Errrr... Yeah, sorry about that.

The best thing was that we didn't usually need to make any accusations; we let them trip themselves up with their perfect Chinglish, trying to defend bad behaviour in a fake positive review before a foreign teacher posted a real negative one, we watched them to try to perform character assassinations on regular posters with no success, often accusing us hating China because we got fired by a shit school or something; when we're not the ones that need to teach English to survive. They essentially killed themselves off.

We also identified that Wumao tactics from Chinese boards were being used not only to silence political dissenters but those that criticised its ESL industry. We'll never know if this was motivated by the education bureaus, the PSB or just powerful school owners or officials with vested interests. When I first started posting on here, I never thought that we would ever be of such importance, but serious efforts were made to attempt to control the narrative that went far beyond what even the most passionate of individual foreigners would ever dedicate themselves to. There was simply no way that such efforts were being lead by foreigners, we knew that there were Chinese people lurking on this site that had an agenda and at times, a suspiciously nationalistic one.

But really, all foreigners in China are waking up as a whole, some have simply married Chinese wives (the poor bastards) and gone home, some went back to school and got better jobs, some had simply had enough of a country whose overall value proposition in the eyes of foreign teachers was decreasing; the static pay, rising living costs, increased hostility towards foreigners also contributed; I don't even think that we are the only affected ESL site, others are also dying.

Also from a technological perspective, sites like this are now considered prehistoric. Much more is going on within the teaching groups on WeChat these days; we are no longer required. Hence we have descended into mostly discussing the benefits of MGTOW and mocking soyboy beta males now.
