What did I do wrong?

Sorry, just getting back into the swing after the holidays...

First, Please go into your AdminCP >> Plugins

Please confirm that the pluggin for this is attached to "register_start"

Next, try logging out of your system. Can you see your site? Then click the register button. Do you get the BLOCKED message? Is your IP address or host listed in in the AdminCP to explain why you might be blocked?

If you don't get the blocked message, next go in and add your OWN IP address to the blocked list. Then try logging out and see what happens. Try clicking the register button and you SHOULD get the blocked message.

When you log in, the message should go away!

If you get locked out of your system for any reason, you will need to temporarily turn off plugins via your config file. Simply add the following on a new line DIRECTLY after the "<?php"

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Let me know what this does for you. I would also like to know what version of PHP you are running.
