>>43344998/cm/ is an image dumping board while /vp/ is a discussion board. Originally /c/ and /cm/ were made to contain image-only threads from /a/ that weren't explicit, there weren't archives back then so it kept dumps from bumping conversation threads off the board. For a few years making text posts on /cm/ was a bannable offence because of drama, most of its regulars and dumps moved to other boards and the board activity dropped so low they unassigned any dedicated mods. Now who fucking knows. I think they've only recently clamped down on teenage girls spamming ecelebs.
The people who post on the /cm/ pokeboys threads are the same ones who post here. They reference things in these threads from time to time and sometimes post the same images. I'd say the /cm/ thread gets fresher art posts because people can't just repost something from last week, but the threads last months. They were alright pre-game release.
