Hi,
The reason it's 30 minutes is because the default setting for that in the forum software is 15 minutes, and that didn't seem like long enough so I bumped it to 30!
As for why that length - no idea! But I will check it out.
One of the things that is used for is the "who's online" at the moment. If it's set very long it inflates the number of people really on line - and who is online is also inaccurate, so you could for instance PM someone and then wonder why they didn't respond - but they've been offline for an hour!
Other than that, who knows. When I find out I'll post it here, and adjust the time as makes sense.
Don't forget checking the "Remember Me" is fine - so long as you log out.
