Hab/TCO Encode of the Month

As you may or may not know, Tehconnection has had it's own encoding project running for quite some time: TehConnection Original (aka TCO) as well as our own internal encode group: Hookers and Blow (aka HaB).

Starting this month, we have decided to highlight either one TCO or HaB encode per month, to draw more attention to the fantastic work that our encoders past and present have done, and are still continuing to do. The featured encode will be freeleech for the calendar month.

This month's featured encode is: Patton.1970.DVDRip.XviD-HaB

If you are interested in learning to encode, or you think you have encodes which you believe fit the criteria for TCO, check out the following threads:

HD to x264 Encoding Guide (Windows)

For further encoding help, we also have an encoder's support forum, as well as an IRC channel: #tc.encoders on our IRC network.

In other news...

Due to some complications with the royalty cheques from Inception somehow turning out to be from Al-Quaeda, Dan decided to step down a while back in order to keep the site online. We'd like to welcome his sacrifice and wish him well in his new home in the Cambodian jungle! As usual, any mail you wish to send him must be given to the nearest Flamingo.

In addition to Dan, wasteland (aka PacMan) has also stepped down in a flurry of intrigue. Thus far, the most popular rumour is that one of the young ladies he picked up on Tinder turned out to be neebs and the two decided to holiday in Bangkok for a year.

Regardless, we would like to thank both of these guys for their help in keeping TC running and wish them well for their future.

We have also managed to rope down a couple of new DoTs, we wish to welcome (finally) both Albe_Sure and CaptainJA to the team! They are already masters of their craft and will assist in making sure the torrents on site are clean and sexy for you to enjoy. Feel free to PM them a welcome message, we feel their inboxes are too empty.

To top it all off, our mail server recently decided to cash in all its vacation days at once. As you may be aware, we have abused poor mailey for years now and the crack habit didn't help. We would like to announce mailey is back from a stint in rehab and working hard once again. To welcome mailey back feel free to send an invite to a friend if you have one. If you don't have an invite send a staff PM with a joke you think we'd enjoy (picture of neebs will get two invites) and if you don't have a friend, uh, well, download a movie? We'd really like to give a big hug to hwkns for fixing the e-mail problems.
