staff designers provided me with an html template to make it render, then because they made me threaten legal action to get paid for the contract where about 80% of the work was performed as a volunteer in the first place, i lost my volunteer access.

the acm are actually a bunch of assholes who mostly spend their members' dues buying hardware and software licenses, much like the government, but it's nice to see that at least they have kept around the work i did which was focused on making the site performant and reliable, which seems to have stuck around for the better part of a decade.

but they are at times a beacon, and it's neat to just be surfing the web and stumble into something you've built.
