Why the Pacific time zone?

I notice that all posting times are done in Pacific time. Why is that? Just curious.
Come to think about it, I have noticed that many sites do that.

In this case I believe it's 'cause that's where the site owner is located.

That makes sense.

I live on in the east. I might start referring to Pacific time as the "Org Time Zone".

I don't think it makes a difference. I've tried setting mine to Central time several times and nothing changes sigh

You should probably just move then. To the Pacific Time Zone . . .

i think all of the org should move into a small abandoned ghost town on the west coast and start a new utopia.

The society would fail before it really got started. We would never be able to agree on a national anthem (too many Prince songs to choose from).

The national anthem would be "America."

When you're using server side coding (like PHP), the time zone is set to where the server is. If it was javascript, it would be set to your own zone.
