Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

that would be awesome
like an instant messenger type thing.

I agree
I agree they need a Instant messenger on here.
I agree as well!!
Instant Chat would be great! But then, I don't think I'd ever get anything done!!!
haha stick,
me either!
chat
I had one on the site previously. It was a little primitive. No one used it so I took it off. If there's enough interest, I can look to see if there is an updated chat module the next time we do an upgrade.
I think I'll make that a poll.

That would be awesome!
I'll watch for the poll! Thanks Dawn!
Try
Ventrillo, its a program where you can talk to others on the internet. You need headphone with a micro phone or just speakers and a microphone either way it allows you to be able to just sit and talk to others.
This may work for some, but...
I wouldn't be able to use this at all. 99% of my time here is while I'm at work (I know, that's bad, but I'm a receptionist so otherwise, I'd just be twiddling my thumbs anyway!) and I can't be having an out-loud conversation here. Typed chat would be the only kind that would work for me.
