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

Ya know
It took me a while to figure out they were old threads. I did not check the date. So yea maybe a lockdown of some sorts. But goes to show no matter what year whether it be ten years ago its still the same shit.
Raise my hand.....
I bit on an old one. Usually I check the date on the original post, but........ sometimes I clck before I look.
Sorry about that.
Ah that makes sense about the
Ah that makes sense about the 'more like this'-didn't think of that. Yes, it would be nice if they just get locked down after a certain amount of time. Rags, I think it's happened to most of us at some point but it's odd when you see activity over a week or so of old stuff popping up lol
When i notice them, I usually
When i notice them, I usually pop a zombie comment on it to warn others...
