 Actually, that is not really available.  While they may not be using the www,
crossfire.com is registered.  So to set up a www.crossfire.com, you would need
to arrange something with the current owner of it (crossfire technologies)

crossfire.net is also taken.  cf.com/net/org is also taken, as is
xfire.com/net/org.

 If you start going beyond that, it probably starts getting obscure enough that
the name recognition doesn't buy anything except a permanent host name.

 As long as the website is intuitive.  crossfire.com.au probably isn't going to
work the best for people outside of australia (they'll probably forget the
.au).  If they expand the top level domain names, then there might be a chance
for something like crossfire.game, which would probably work out much better.
