Is Agora actually ready for action?

On the front page for instance it still states under "Post a snippet":

"Just want to post a quick snippet of code? Do it in the pastebin. You 
don't even have to be registered. Though we'd need some sort of 
spam-protection measures in that case. Plus, syntax highlighting!"

The "Though we'd need some sort of spam-protection measures in that 
case." implies it's still a work-in-progress

There's also:

"Some more text just to fill up the space. Lorem ipsum, etc."

"More text to fill up line. "

so maybe people don't actually know it's fully operational and think 
it's still in development?
