Hi Tony,
As someone who used to contribute to Ozbirdpix i agree with what Sonja said.
Ozbirdpix just didn't attract enough active members and for me there are so
many better outlets to share and communicate with like-minded people. Obviously
i am involved in Feathers and Photos which suits my needs perfectly. Bird-O is
another great outlet for sharing not just images too, and there are plenty more
forums that are already established and great.
I personally didn't find the Ozbirdpix system very user friendly for what it
was trying to achieve.
There is now simply too much competition.
Cheers
Dave Stowe
