I don't use imageboards, but from my understanding, you need to have posts with images as opposed to threads.

Also, they seem to follow a threaded post structure rather than a strict thread -> post structure that most forums employ.

well i've managed to somehow adapt it to mybb

if you put the mouse over the globe (at right) itwill show first post of the thread(didn't make that plugin)

If i could show the first post of everythread the rest will be piece of cake

can you help me with that  ZiNgA?

You will need a custom plugin for that.

If you only want an excerpt of the first post, the thread tooltip can be retrofitted.

If you use the thread tooltip plugin, you can display the first 200 chars of the first post for each thread in threadlist.

Maybe "Thread tooltip" merged with a "Jquery tooltip" plugin could be better than just exploding a lot of information like you want

for example:
