Shouldn't the phrase be "language indifferent"? "language agnostic" would mean that the forum doesn't know whether programming languages exist.

I suspect it means that it doesn't care one way or the other.

One of the definitions of agnostic is:
"uncertain of all claims to knowledge"
and you'll see the term used in computereze fairly frequently, for example:
"but thanks to the Mono project it's virtually platform-agnostic."
or:
"Yes, the person who started the Rails project is a MySQL fan... but Rails is database agnostic. "

See what happens when we give Chris just a little more DB room on the SQL boxes, he eats it up right away.

I think its good idea that codeproject has separately forums for each object.
