Stack Exchange questions, answers and comments are released under CC BY-SA. IMHO this is a wonderful decision, because it is a safeguard in case something happens (see what happened to Xitter for an… extreme scenario): people are able to archive the content and make it available for posterity. For knowledge repositories like forums and FAQ sites, this is crucial. Typst the free and open-source software (as opposed to the closed-source components) can live on with the development carried on by volunteers in any contingency; if the forum has an open licence, the prospective main user-contributed source of knowledge about Typst can remain usable forever as well.
I looked a bit, but couldn’t find any information about this matter. If indeed no licence has been dictated (which to the best of my knowledge means everything is automatically copyrighted in some?/most? legal systems), I’d suggest CC BY (without -SA) or CC0.
Clarification: In no way does this post imply suspicion or criticism towards the deeply-appreciated developers and maintainers of Typst, which have shown nothing but kindness, enthusiasm and competence. The point is that this is a safeguard. Just like with making Typst open source, which resulted in a thriving ecosystem, making the forums open source will encourage contributions from the user community, who can be sure these contributions will remain free and available.

I would like to expand the license to all posts on the Forum as to simplify things. Before the cutoff, some people have written posts that are complex enough to enjoy copyright protections.

First time seeing this idiom. Knowing the rough meaning, this doesn’t make your question clearer to me.
I was referring to the fact that the timestamp might be removed in the near future and that changing it to a universal timezone wouldn’t matter (because of the removal).
