I have updated the site with:
- Ability to link to specific games (like this - http://picturetelephone.net/#124)
- Panel authors
- Back end moderation (for admins only)

If anyone wants to help me moderate the spam/inappropriate stuff on some of the games that were made in the past few days, please message me with your PT user name. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Also, the site will be updated again in the next few days with ability to view games you participated in the "my games" window, some additional game browsing features, additional colors (including purple!), being able to view random games without logging in, fixing some bugs with the comment system, and more..

Regardless of the future state of bpt.com, I will continue working on picturetelephone.net and will be making  improvements in user experience and site quality, as well as additional features I always felt were missing from the original bpt site. When I get to it (I am currently busy studying for exams), I will work on  creating a robust social networking system as an important part of the site (features will include a user profile page where users can comment on your work, friend lists, private games, and more). I believe that a website like this is fueled by good functionality, but is truly kept alive by a lively community which enjoys playing together.

To answer your question, I have high ambitions for this project, and I think it truly can go a long way beyond bpt.com.

I updated it with a few more features, and I would appreciate if you guys told me what you think, and use it!

Again, the link is: www.picturetelephone.net

I am still working on improving it.

Thanks.

Thanks, I will be sure to implement all of these features on my next update. The problem is the person who usually helps me out with server-side changes is currently in a different timezone (with a 7 hour difference), but i will do my best to wake him up and get him on the job again..

Thanks for the feedback Mega, it's very encouraging to hear other people's opinions at this stage, whether good or bad.

My next big update on the site will add a comment and rating system; hopefully it will be up in the next day or two, and I will make sure to add a vertical scroll bar in an even sooner update. I would immensely appreciate if you could tell me if anything else seemed to turned you off from the interface or functionality of the site, or any suggestions you might have that could help me out as I strive to improve it. I am truly learning the craft as I go, and I am starting to realize that the hardest work in this type of project is not making it simply "work", but making it enjoyable to use.

Again, thanks. I will do my best not to break anything. :)

Here is an alternative I am working on based on Silverlight:

www.picturetelephone.net

Try it out, and I'd really appreciate if you give me some comments!
It's my first web project, so don't have high expectations though :)
