Then do you know a site that gives free domain names that this site supports?

First, the reason you can not use .co.cc is we do not support domain names that have two dots in them.
Secondly there is no such thing as a "FREE" domain name -  you need to purchase one via a domain host if you want to use one with your forum.

I had the same problem as you with .co.uk, and I couldn't get that to show up on my site because it's not supported. I did however get .eu for .97p/year, and that, I'm glad to say, is supported.
Makes it a lot easier to tell someone your website address. ;D
If any of you are passing by my house, please feel free to pass.
