Exactly, plugins add queries and slow down your site.

Exactly. A forum is about discussions; not about plugins. Now if you were to have a forum about MyBB plugins then go ahead add them to showcase them. But for a normal forum whether it's a promotion forum, a discussion forum, or whatever only use what is needed.
Example don't put a shoutbox on a promotion forum.
Don't put a points system on a forum about swimming.
Etc there are heaps of plugins for MyBB but it's about choosing the right ones.
Anyway MyBB is already awesome enough in what the default install gives us.
