Hi Nicolas! I hope your registration delay is sorted out soon.
I will add to the above explanations, that this site is privately run with no spam and no advertising, so at the owner's expense. The owner does a screening process for new members, but the process can't be done until he has time from his own schedule to do it. So we often see no new members for a period of time, then a whole batch of members get approved and admitted at once.
The site has also been hacked afaik and crashed for several days within the last year, which took days of work for the owner to rectify.
Not sure but I think that happened just after new members were approved. So the owner's precautions are justified, unfortunately! I surmise that he is waiting to admit a group of new members when he's available to do the necessary technical oversight to prevent unforeseen exploits from occurring.
This is a wonderful community of people, and we also love to see new members and warmly welcome them. So please be patient, you won't be disappointed when your membership is approved.
