Any python automation chat/skype groups out there?

So I've been getting into coding heavily for the past few months and have been wondering if there's any open chat groups of python coders, or even coders in general that use any automating librarys to make their IM job a little easier in a grey-hat like manner(meaning no api's)?

The reason I ask is because when asking certain questions on public forums other than bhw my questions are looked down upon and I get the reply "Use the api", or "that's against the platforms rules".

I guess I'm just looking for a friendly group of people who can help out others, including myself when stuck on a certain bug for a while.

I would ask all my questions on this sub-forum but it's not very active :-(

requests / lxml / selemium is almost all you need to automate anything
