Sorry I didn't keep login daily for a couple of times, in short I suffer a small problem in my right eyes that prevent me from frequently fighting in the sky.
To keeps thing simple, there is a pretty small raise on the retina on my right eyes. Luckily not near the fovea, so my eye sight is still normal, except on somewhere of the top left hand corner (near the 10 o'clock position if we using bluemax terms), there is an area where straight line will become curve. I notice it about a few months ago and get an Optical Topological analysis (don't ask me what it is, my feeling is just they use some laser to scan the my eye, very similar to Arnold in the 6th Day http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216216/  ) and found out the raise.
I need to go back to Hospital for every two months and makes sure the raise didn't expand 
The doctor said at the current moment no need for medicine or surgery but if the raise expand to a certain size or move near to the fovea, then a laser surgery may be need. And the effect of that surgery is I might lose 30-80% of the eyesight of my right one. So instead of watching the screen 12 hours a days. I need to trim it down to 8.5, 8 hours for work and the 0.5 for the rest.
My report is just launch recently and luckily the raise is still small but I need to keep it in good condition, that means my online game time need to be shorten from 4+ hour per day to 0.5 per week ....
So even in the future time I visit youplay I would just mainly for the forum modification work, once I finish all the games on hand I may just keep 1-3 games active ....
Youplay is my fun and actually escape of the physical world. Here I could forget I am a father or son or husband or I am an online marketer. I could be pilot/captain/vampire/outlaw/head of political party or sort. It seems youplay is part of family. Here I meet boardgame fans like Nick, gladiatore, pokerguy, dcr66, fineturno, tomski and dozen other friend. And most importantly YOU who is kind enough to read this long email. We build up the youplay community from scratch to an online boardgames site, though not very big but still a proud as I consider myself as an contributor.
I am not too worry at the current moment for my health as just following the doctor suggestion to keep my right eye usage to minimum. My daily job is an online marketer so from 9 to 5 I have no choice but using the computer. I just now need to switch my off work activities from the screen to the real world  . This change is painful but I just consider it as a long vacaton from youplay.
I will keep at least login once a week.
Anyway you could find me on facebook. Just ask and I will send you a personal mail about it
Will keep you all update.
enjoy flying/forum moderating/chatting with you guys
see you all again in the sky
P.S. Don't worry, the world is still running and my right eyes is still in good shape 
P.P.S. Not all bad news, the doctor said my left eye slightness is 1.2 which means I don't need glass if using only my left eyes.
Best wishes
