    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,

    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.

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

    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 :)

    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!
