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

I agree that the "Like" button is lazy, but I also think that it has lost some of it's meaning through the years. I find the terms that posters use to "like" a post or reply have variety and nuances:
^^^This^^^, *****^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^*********, ^^Agree^^, ^^Dup^^, ^^^^OMG This ^^^^^, "Well said," etc.
So, I may not have anything meaningful to add, but I feel free to reinforce comments/replies. Although, I'd hate to see what the board would look like with anonymous "Thumbs Down/Dislike" buttons.
I'd prefer a HUG button.

I wish there was a perfectly private facebook group too but all I can find are public groups and I don't dare post in any of them.

I sent my name to Melody and she added me but then I never got the invite for the group. So. I am still trying to get in.
