Did you try to register using Tor browser or when your VPN was on?
It's a common problem when one tries to create an account from a banned IP address especially for Tor browser users. This is because the banned IP where in the past used to abuse the forum so in order to avoid further abuses from the IP address, one is asked to pay "evil fees"
If you search "IP bans" "Proxy bans" "Evil fees" on
Meta Board. You will be able to see so many topics created about the issue.
Nonetheless, welcome to the forum.
The sections/areas I visited,
...
Bitcoin discussion/Altcoin discussion - full of topics and replies being made and I can't figure for now what the users are talking about.
...
Mining/Technical discussion/Project and etc.- I have no idea on these sections but pretty much sure I will be checking it in the future.
The sections about are the main reason the bitcointalk forum was created. Make sure after some months or years in this forum. You have made full use of those boards. There is always knowledge to share and attain from there about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
