Quite a few 'pending' members didn't complete the process and verify that there email was valid. The system sends out a mail to you during the registration process. It may have went to your spam folder or such. If you haven't been approved in 48 hours. Try to re-register with the same information, and see if it will allow you. I believe it was in the Friday-Sunday time frame that there was some 8 new members who never validated an email and thus did not become members.
