Come back soon Pyggy we really miss you Soccy is willing to give you the best beard award! Not seeing his name in IRC has made it so real

Gotta say it's real heartwarming how everyone is banding together to try and help even if it's just a facebook or a tweet! I love C&H!

Hopefully he'll just turn up for his labs/classes tomorrow and it'll all just have been a big mix up or something..

The likes on that page are growing fairly rapid, more publicity can only help. Hope he's found soon.

This is really awful. First thing I saw when I went online over here in China was the notice of his disappearance.

This may sound strange but one of the first things that jumped into my mind when I read the announcement was this post he made ages ago that had me laughing for ages when I first saw it. I swear, if he turns up safe and well, I am writing that poem for him!

Having spoke to him on IRC a bit he always came across as a funny and really nice guy. As somebody said earlier it's strange how personal things like this are when you've just talked to somebody through an internet forum. Hope he's found ok soon!

Hey..

I'm organising for people to campaign (if that's the right word) in O'Connell St. today.
Handing out a few fliers and asking around.

As posted in the DCU forum:

Meet Albert Park side of DCU Hub @ 3pm. We'll be taking the bus to town - 3:15pm at the latest.
Hopefully we'll have enough people to have some by the bus stops and some by the spire.
Feel free to PM me if you wish to meet in city centre.

If any of you guys want to come and meet us in O'Connell St at about 3:45pm, you're more than welcome

Carri

Realised yesterday that Pygmalion was the missing guy. So horrible. Haven't been able to stop thinking about him since.
Never really talked to him on Boards but was always amused by his posts. Hope that wherever he is that he is safe and well. Come home soon please!

Oh no.... so so sad for his family, I really thought he would be found alive and well....

Judging by his intelligent, funny and polite posts during my time on boards, he must have been an absolute pleasure to know in person, and have made a positive impact on a lot of people.

My condolences to all his family and friends.

I never expected this. RIP Pyg

Every evening I logged in and checked here and the DCU forum for news. I am in absolute shock right now. RIP Pygmalion and God help his family and friends right now. Very, very sad.
