Maybe get everyone to thank that post in the DCU forum (even if it's very odd 'thanking' such a post) and get it to post of the day, so more people will see it?

Well, I shared the information on my Facebook page, I know a few people going to college in Dublin at the moment. It's strange how I've never met him, and yet it seems rather personal, having been on boards for awhile. This really is a valuable community we have here.

Hopefully it'll all be a misunderstanding and he'll be fine!

Folks,

anyone who has any information, please contact the Gardaí at Whitehall or post in the DCU thread to keep everything together.

Thanks,

R.

Hey guys,

I apologise for the double post but I think this deserves it.

Paul Bunbury, a DCU Student has recently gone missing. Paul hasn't been seen since Thursday at roughly 4pm in DCU and nobody has been able to contact him. His family are very worried, and are appealing to anybody with information to contact Whitehall Garda Station on 01-6664500.

Please pass this message on to anyone you know. Hopefully someone has seen him.

I know this is a terrible situation, but it's actually nice to see how everyone's reacting on facebook, twitter, reddit and especially here. People give out about the internet, and say it's just full of assholes, but there's a lot of proof today that it's a very caring community when it really matters.

I hope Pygmalion gets to see all this concern soon.

People from my school (Who have no idea who he is and no association with boards whatsoever) are sharing this on facebook.

It gives me a nice feeling

Oops, didn't even see the announcement, Kate, and copied in the thread ...

And Silverfish has upgraded us all, and stuck up a sitewide announcement, which is all to the better.

Yeah I just saw that there, I posted in the mod forum requesting it. There's about 20 people posting about it on Facebook most aren't boardsies so it's being spread around pretty well.

Heard about this earlier and had to rejoin to help add some support for this. Really hope he's found safe and sound.

I've been spreading it around twitter all day and have gotten a few Irish celebs retweeting and spreading the message about it. If any of you are on there, use the hashtag #FindPaulB to help spread it around.

(Noel2k9/Grindylow/etc here btw..)

I really hope this has a happy ending.

I retweeted this on twitter and have posted it to Facebook, though I have a fairly limited friend-base in the Dublin area. It's been shared by one of them at least.

His brother posted on his Facebook page thanking everyone for spreading the word but no other news posted since so I think he's still missing.

It's always sad to hear of people missing like this but when they are so young it's even more upsetting.

Hope he's found okay. I know a couple of his friends from Wexford and everyone's been sharing it on Facebook from all over the country so at least they're getting his picture out there.
