Have you EVER had traffic sources / gold mines dry up and had to move on?
You can debate this all you want about how giving away info is the right thing to do but the fact is most businessmen will disagree with you.
Your good nature idea works for YOUR business model and traffic generation setup. It doesn't work for everyone else's.
And seriously think about this for a second... you're making 17K monthly. Would you be JUST as open about it if you were making 100K+ monthly? Wouldn't a large number like that mean your one of the top players in your traffic field and therefore more competiton truly means less joins for you since you're actually getting them all ready?
Only reason I'm jumping in here is because I saw you jump in and flame soneone that disagrees with your idea. The simple FACT is most real business would disagree with you as well. Accept the fact you are doing things differently and hopefully u will continue to succeed. But don't bash people and call them paranoid because they have a different business model / philosophy than you.
There really is reason to be somewhat paranoid and critical of your business. Not only are there webmasters that want to copy you but there are AFFILIATE PROGRAMS that watch how there affiliates send traffic and then go in and copy the setup and do it themselves too. I've seen it first hand with AFFILIATE PROGRAMS trying to copy my shit.
Go ahead and keep giving away all your secrets.... hopefully in YOUR business model it won't hurt u in the end.

Nice post, respeck
First of all let me make it clear my intention is not to flame or bash anyone. I am just trying to help you all expand your mind. I could have completely ignored this thread... read it and say to myself "look at these suckers, they have no idea"... but I didn't. I took the time to post a book that I thought was great. I look at it now and maybe it seemed like I was joking. I am sorry. I wasnt'. You all need to read the book "The Magic of Thinking Big".
It may hurt to hear what I am saying but consider it growing pains, I am trying to expand your mind. And not all of you will get it. I probably think 1 in 100 people that read this thread will actaully heed my advice and get that book. Buts that's ok.
So you are worried I am giving away "secrets". I have news for you, nothing I have said cant' be found on just about any other webmaster resource site. Now dont get me wrong, I am not giving out time-sensitive secrets like how to buy domains right after they expire or anything like that. I am just telling people general things what worked for me. Doesnt mean it'll work for them. You all need to stop the hatin' and be glad a more experienced person is taking the time to let you know what worked for him and compare to what is working for. das it. That's the extent of it.
But I am really shocked that some of you are so worried about other people. Your competition is not with other adultwebmasters, but with how smart you are in taking advantage of new opportunities. I know most people in this thread are into TGP which is cool but who has started a blog? I know you may be tired about hearing about them but fuck, there is a reason you are hearing so much about them! Wake up and smell the coffee. Blogs are great. Great search engine traffic. And they only take about 20 minutes a day to update. An its fun to update. You just write some funny bullshit, press "Save" then go on about your day. It's worth the 20 minutes. For real, I aint playin'. And even if you are into TGP you should have one. That is what I am talking about when it comes to learning and trying new things and explaning your mind. Dont force yourself into a cubbyhole then worry other people want to get into the same cubbyhole. Get it? Capiche? I hope so cuz I dont think I could make it any clearer than that. Phew!
Peace.
