This hack on the other hand automates the process and is for use with paid subscriptions that are setup via the vB AdminCP. You set your monthly money goal, and this hack stores paid subscription amounts in a table for use in creating the money bar. This hack also lets you add or edit the user subscription amounts via the vB AdminCP, and it automatically resets the money bar on a per month cycle. This hack assumes that the payment gateway postback subscription amount will be in x.xx format. Support is offered on an if/as time is available basis but is not guaranteed. If you use this hack, a click of the install button is appreciated.

This is really nice, especially since it is automated, and because you can use this for give-away games, etc. (if we reach the goal before end of month, 1 free gift for one of our members!, support us now)
