 Using bbpress 0.9.0.2.  Steps to repro:

 1. In admin UI, set your server to have timezone of -5

 2. Post something at time xx:yy:zz

 3. Examine RSS.  Note that pubdate on your post looks something like
 <pubDate>Tue, 27 Jan 2009 xx:yy:zz +0000</pubDate> with the correct time
 (given in your timezone), but with +0000

 This causes problems in some users' readers, as they redundantly "convert"
 to -05GMT (which the time was already in), causing them to see the post as
 being made 5 hours earlier than it was.

 Instead, the pubdate should include the timezone along with the time.
