Forum:Why is everything written in the past tense?

Why is everything here written in the past-tense?
As a fictional world that is current and ongoing, shouldn't he past tense only be used when referring to previous information that may have been changed within the canon? Is it a formatting issue, or translation issue? Thanks for any insight anyone can give on this.
