There are no ads on the site - downloading the product is free. Plugins are free or you pay direct to the plugin maker. I don't get it really. If it was like concrete5, where the developers make top end plugins and sell them then I would  see how. But with mybb? Where does the money come from?
They don't make money.
People donate their time to either develop or support the product.
They're hosted on some overpriced server, which are pretty much most of their costs, but they somewhat make that back from donations or text ads on the downloads page.

In which case, one wonders what you can really bring to the table with such limited time.
It's not like everyone else doesn't work either.
