Most timezones are stored using mysql's CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. This can be a problem if we want to display times in the user's selected timezone and the host is not using UTC for a system time.
Moving forward we should ALWAYS store timestamps as UTC, regardless of the database settings. When we pull it out we can easily set the timezone to the users WP timezone and display it in a way that makes sense :)
