You should first create a new usergroup for "paying members" then edit global.php, find:

PHP Code:

// check to see if server is too busy. this is checked at the end of session.php 


before that add:

PHP Code:

if (($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != Z AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 5 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7) AND (date("h", time())>X AND date("h", time())>Y)) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('peak_hour')."\");");
  exit;
} 


Replace X with your starting hour and Y with your ending hour for peak hours, Z wiht the usergroup id of your paid members and create a new template named "peak_hour" which will be displayed to ordinary members if it's a peak hour.. That's it..

1. Must be streamlined .. if someone pays with paypal.com it updates their acccount etc. No manual intervention

Sorry to say this but this is not a vb hack request, this is a big integration project request. Such a project can not apply to all sites, because it would be specific to your site's needs (integrated into it) so I cant see a possibility such an hack could be released here or even if it did, it wouldnt fit to your needs.
