YW Skype chat changes

im-significant:

First off, if you didnt know, there is a YW skype group. This is a PSA concerning it and changes that are currently being made. 

Due to recent concerns that the current YW skype group chat has turned into a support group and is no longer serving as the forum for religious and/or philosophical discussion it was originally intended to be, we are splitting the chat into subgroups. 

1. The current chat is now renamed and repurposed as “YW support group,” pending the finding of a fitting quote. Anyone who wishes to leave now that this is its main purpose is welcome to, no one will judge you. Also, if you are not currently in this group and want to be, contact me here or on skype to be added.
2. a new “even saints have to start somewhere” (religion/philosophy) chat will be opened, same contact info applies
3. a third chat for YW and associated fandom talk will also be going up based on demand. Again, same contact info.

I and others hope that this will make the YW skype chat experience more accessible and pleasant to all. In case it wasn’t clear, you may be in any combination of these chats, or all three, or none. this reformatting is for the sake of those who would prefer to avoid one or more of the above topics while still participating in group chat. I apologize to anyone for whom this change is unsettling or alarming, I know things like this can be. However, this has been building for a while and those in the discussion agreed that this is a needed change to keep the chats as welcoming as possible.

Please let me know if you have suggestions of quote-based titles for the first or third chats, or if you have questions or concerns. This is meant to be a helpful change, I need to know if it is a problem for anyone.
