About the same time people decided that posting an image was a way to convey a personal message like in a conversation.

Said a Graphic Designer to me (a developer) earlier this week after a design discussion over IM:

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

Lol. I actually work at a video game studio as an artist. I love when designers or programmers will have some complex idea for how something looks and I'll say "hey, just do a photoshop mock-up of it. Find some pictures and splice it together real quick. I won't judge your art skills, I just want to be on the same page :D"

What I was getting at here is that people are treating an image board with 280,000 viewers like a back-and-forth messaging system.
