The sprites are still in Beta testing, they could be scrubbed by HB at anytime, I'm sure once it reaches Gamma and Delta It'll be in the awesomeness ranking.
Yeah I agree with Subtle. Also I think how many groups your in and all the posts you've made in that group should add to your awesomeness and should be viewable from your profile.
I agree with Jack- shouts on group pages should add up towards your rank just as bb posts do..Maybe they could count as half as many points as bb posts..They are essentially the same thing..
