Melrose Café pulling the plug after 20+ years

I've heard Melrose will be ending Buzztime, possibly as early as Thursday

What with the QB1 issues evaporating that sector of their player base a half-decade ago (and they promoted it heavily), then economics causing them to slash down to 10 boards, I can't say it's a big surprise. Usually, only 7 or 8 of those 10 playmakers were in working order, that killed Showdown play there, and ever since the only regular participants have been the die-hard solo players. Hell, I haven't even played one game there in the last 180 days :oops:

I can find only two sites with lower ID numbers and an active gameplay record: Tender Trap in Chicago Heights IL (#2) and Buffalo's Bar and Grill in Greensboro NC (#8)

It's a melancholy day here in Cowtown . . . :cry:

What a huge loss to the NTN community. I am very sorry to hear this.

A sad day indeed...I'll toast a frosty, ice cold beverage in their name my next time out...
