Why is the time stamp set to a time zone in the middle of the pacific ocean? I understand it's a worldwide community, but GMT +10 just seems arbitrary. Is there a special reason this time zone was chosen?

Welcome!

Presumably it defaults to that timestamp because the developers of either Wrongplanet or this software live there...
