i can't suggest specific topics of conversation because i'm only one person in a large group. it's unfortunate that the poker discussion group hasn't materialized, but that is something separate from the poker game that i host.
i agree that the game has evolved from the days when we played $1/$2. but i should point out that even back then we had personality conflicts. i recall comments like, "why are you asking me why i did X -- it's $2/$4!!!" and i remember people emailing me to say they would never return to the game after being milked out of $100 in a single night. even back then people who did not know each other were meeting up to play a game involving money, and some of the people did not get along.
