From experience, you should generally attempt to keep the flow of your website and community together. While I can't see you transitioning vBulletin -> Flash, it would be nice to keep the same general scheme all the way through.
A splash page is nice, though the splash page does nothing when it looks like I am entering a different website once I move from it to the community.
The one major issue I saw was the navigation menu. When the menu takes up 25% of a page on a 800x600 resolution (which many still use), then to me, there's a problem.
