From the time stamps on the postings, WP seems to be hosted somewhere in East Asia. If not, why do the times all seem to be 12 hours in the future?

The timestamp is UJT, or "Greenwich" time. I've read somewhere that the server is in the U.K.

^ It's hosted in the USA.
OP, you'll need to set an appropriate time zone in your profile - it's currently GMT +10.

Specifically, the time zone the server is hosted in is ET (currently EST, which is GMT -5:00)

These time zones are stupid. Of course there's no separate time zone, it's been created in the U.S.A

It's the London time zone by default.
