Just the cost of registering the domain. I'll take care of that part of it.
We can use the site that currently hosts the alt-atheism.org domain. It's
already paid for, and I'm losing interest in maintaining the alt-atheism.org
website, so I though we could use it to host this other domain.

True, but I've already paid for the webhosting (expires October IIRC) and
the only other expense would be the domain registration.

That is a possibility. But in the meantime it might be a lot of fun. We
could also reduce the chances of getting it pulled by not naming them
directly. Just place their kooky quotes on a page (minus their name) with a
link to google showing the complete message. If nothing else, just having
them see messages posted by someone@k... ought to ramp up their
paranioa. Some of them already think that some of us belong to some "shadow
organization". I've also thought about using 'ufo-kook-watch.net' as a
domain name as well.

The hosting is already paid for. All I have to do is logon at my hosting
company and create the new domain after I register it. The hosting is
already paid for through October I think.
If anyone can think of a better sounding domain name, post it here. If been
thinking about the following:
kook-watch.net
kook-watch.org
ufo-kook-watch.net
ufo-kook-watch.org
crackpot-watch.net
crackpot-watch.org
ufo-crackpot-watch.net
ufo-crackpot-watch.org
watchingyou.org
