I think at some point the definition of the words "image board" became unclear to a few people. You see, it's a combination of "image" (referring to so-called "image files," usually the extensions .jpg, .gif and .png, although others are possible) and "board" (net slang for a particular type message-and-reply webpage).
In particular the "image" designator differentiates such boards with a focus on pictures from discussion boards, where text is the primary focus. Although current levels of bandwidth and processing make it comparatively simple to integrate both, most boards prioritize one of the functions and consider the other present merely to complement it.
Are we clear now?
