Splash screens are just an extremely annoying way of stopping people from getting to truly useful content. Although they can be quite impressive when used for fashion/art/media sites, most of the time they just p** you off and make you want to leave the site before you even know anything about it.

You changed my cursor. The cursor is mine, and should be how I want it to be. Editing the user's GUI is generally considered bad practice (changing cursor, changing scrollbar colours etc.).

None of the code validates - you haven't got a DOCTYPE on the splash screen, and are using deprecated elements, like <center>. Also, you have tags in both upper and lower case, and content outside of the <html> tags. Validation (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.teamui.com%2Fteamhome.html) (82 Errors)

You're using some CSS, which is good, but this would be a better way to do it:

<style type="text/css">
a.pic:link, a.pic:visited, a.pic:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #666;
}
</style>


Finally, poor choice of font makes it very hard to read - try something like Arial, Geneva, Georgia or Times New Roman. They might not be as pretty looking, but a hell of a lot more people have them on their systems.
