Splinter

A splinter is an imageboard that’s meant not to fulfill an entirely new niche in the already-oversaturated IB market, but instead one that's meant for users of an already established imageboard (e.g. 4cuck, 8chan, and now the sharty) that is either believed to have become shittier, or is unable to be posted on anymore due to the "death" of the website, ie. becoming offline.

The difference between a splinter and a bunker is that bunkers are meant to be temporary homes, while splinters usually attempt to stick around for longer, alTHOUGH this distinction isn’t always maintained very well.

Keep in mind that in cases in which former users of a once-popular imageboards decide to migrate to another relatively popular imageboard (such as when former /r9k/ posters returned to the ‘cuck after m00t re-opened the board), the site in question they migrate to is never really referred to as a splinter.

to the surprise of absolutely nobody, most sharty splinters are just glorified discord servers without the real time chat.
