    Use the drupal front page module.. with that you can make a page that's very different to the rest of your site.

    you gave an opinion but gave no reason for your opinion making it worthless.

    Splash pages are evil. Not opinion, fact.

    Splash pages waste the visitor's time.

    Abandonment rates are reported in the 20–50% range.

    After working hard to gain click-throughs and SE placement, the user sees no content.

    For a good article, from an author who has been on both sides of the question, see http://www.newfangled.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/3294

    There is no upside to a splash page.

    cheers,

    gary
