Does Mybb require a lot of resources?

From my past experiences MyBB never uses barely any resources as long as you don't have a ton of plugins.

Agree with @"DrizzyAmerica" . MyBB is realy fast and it is far the best FREE Forum script I've experienced so far. Basically all known CMS Scripts are well optimized and tested. Scripts them selves shouldn't cause any problema like that. But extensions, (themes, plugins) in most cases cause conflicts, website break or overload ...

Beside that, you should always avoid to let Forum users to upload images directly to your Hosting, but I believe that you know that already.

Even with no plugins, myBB can use a lot of resources depending on the number of concurrent visitors. Note that the number of registered users don't matter. What matters is how many people are loading your forum/posts at once (number of online visitors + online members).

If you have access to the php config try to enable opcache. That makes php scripts / applications WAY faster. (Atleast when I've tested I can get a much higher performance)

Anyways using most of the plugins wont make it noticeable slower.

+1 to that.

You can also set mybb to cache most used data to hard disk instread of database. It'll make your site slightly slower but it wont slow down by that much anymore. Disk usage will increase though...
