Remove .edu registration restriction

To remove the .edu restriction, simply remove the following lines of code in "register_box.php":

// checks if it is a valid and university email address if (!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9_\-]+(\.[_a-z0-9\-]+)*@([_a-z0-9\-]+\.)+edu$/i', $_POST['email'])) { die('You must have a valid and .edu email address to register for an account.'); }
