Hey mate,
Applying this limitation will possibly, most likely reduce the audience of the forum. As an addition to your challenge question, you can implement the CAPTCHA functionality as well as IP reputation blocking via blacklists.
If you need a hand with this, let me know.

ADMIN Wrote:As from 24th September 2016, the domain names attached to user registration email addresses has been severely limited to prevent "free email addresses" being used. Basic ISP email addresses are ok but Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and their ilk have all been restricted from being used to activate a new user account on the forum.
If you have already registered using a 'free email address' then all is ok unless you have to re-register and then you will have to accept this new restriction.
The user IP at the time of signup is recorded and can be used to confirm country and ISP details if there is any doubt as to the validity of any new users credentials.
This process has been implemented to prevent spammers from creating user accounts and thus posting rubbish to the forum.
