Sad to hear about the health troubles, Grimson, we've missed you for sure.
As Xuri mentioned; UOX3 is one of those things we all do for fun (I hope), while it's great when people have time to contribute and participate in the community, absences (even lengthy ones) need no excuse.
I myself have been out of touch lately as I just started a new job which has roughly a 3hr commute, leaving me no desire to do much beyond sleeping and eating.
The beauty of the community, as it stands, is we can afford to be relaxed. There are no set release dates, only a small amount of users needing support, and most notably, we have no troublemakers (aside from perhaps those pesky russian ladies Xuri is always fending off). UOX3, like many long-running open source projects simply continues to exist, following the ebb-and-flow of it's contributers lives.
Anyhow, we look forrward to your recovery, and hopefully by the time you are back in the saddle, I will be living a bit closer to my work.

. But that's gonna take a little bit more time and then I'll first have to get my normal life and job back on track before I can start to spend as much time on UOX3 as I did earlier.
