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

What in the world did I miss?
Did that unnamed "member" run off all these people? I thought the attacks were saved for me...........I didn't log on this weekend and I must have missed what went down. Someone PM me and give me a recap please!!!!

There was one blog with Danyelle that got out of hand and had a lot of responses. MeandMine is no longer on the site, as far as I can tell. I sometimes tracked her, but it looks like she is gone and her account is gone.
Cruella had mentioned that she knew that she'd be going into different territory and that's part of why she's leaving. And then The Principlist had also posted that she was out.
It just makes me sad as I really respected their opinions and their writing!
Nope I don't plan on leaving. I have just been on vacation.
I left my laptop at home.
Sorry to hear that some of the pillars of our community have left us.
I will catch up on the why of it all over the next couple of weeks.

I saw what Danyelle said but
chose to not go tit for tat with her. I think she eventually chose the same, from what I saw anyways.
I also see that MM seems to no longer be here: HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF.........though I'm sure she's still a lurker. That's okay though, maybe we can teach her some things. Which is basicall what we are all here for right?
But I don't know what went down wtih Principlist..........it appears that MM did something not so nice to her as well.......which sucks that she's leaving because I adore her!
Oh well, there must have been a blog that was deleted. My curious Tinkerbell mind shall never know!

There was a blog that was deleted that got out of hand. It did drive Principlist to tell MeandMine off- rightfully so. Gotta love The Prince!!
I'm SHOCKED.
I seriously thought the only one she would attack here was me. PM me and give me the skinny when you get time!
And PS, BRAVO Princ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw the Blog Jen and
Have to say I too jumped on the band wagon, princ.. Told M&M off, which afterwards M&M turned on me also. Like I care M&M can say whatever about me she/he/it wants but when you starr on my friends my claws come out... I had to start throwing M&M's in the middle of the movies. :O

hehehehehe, I don't think I'll ever look at another pack
of M&M's the same way again.
