Best fake "home" pages ?

Waffles' home page has been successfully fooling people since 1905. I haven't come across anyone who is not confused when they visit waffles for the first time.
 
I'm with Art, the rabbit farm was the best put together and funniest to date. 2nd is the TTC frontend, that fools nearly everyone. Took me almost an hour to get it the first time.
 
A home-page is only secure, if you can't apply your predisposed knowledge to find what lies behind it.

I wouldn't have been able to put it in any better form
+1 for that.

I'd also add, it's not the problem with the homepage, the problem is with the stupid staff themselves (not specifying any tracker here).. really, the lack of coding skills (or fear of messing things up) made them just send the variables values from one page (index.php or login.php) to some modded (index.php) so they can be sent to takelogin.php

Simply by setting a session with a hashed token that can be obtained only by inputting the correct username&password THEN and only then the other pages should be accessible otherwise they should redirect the user to the "fake" homepage.
it would something like this

function isLoggedIn(){
...;return true;
...;return false;}
if (!isLoggedIn()){
header ("Location:... .php");
exit;
}else{
//the rest of the page's code go here
}

and just add that to every page , include it or whatever, and with a good robot.txt..
one last thing, redirect 404 to the "fake" index.php
now there's no way to tell the different between a page that exist (login.php, browse.php..) and a page that doesn't, they all will redirect the user (if not logged in) to the "fake" index.php
and that's it

In fact BCG's fake homepage had me stumped for quite a while until I finally got in (thanks stoi).

What I find interesting is that you apparently kept clicking on a "fake" homepage to a site you weren't a member of.
Maybe you should try collecting stamps instead or something .:unsure:
 
I think BCG is planning on removing their fake page, which is a shame because I really like it.

It's not like those pages fool anyone...

The point is to keep it secret from non-bt users. It does a pretty good job, as if I was to visit BCG, I would think its just an unused page.
I mean if you know its a fake page upon entering.... of course it doesn't work.
