There is a passive scoring system for downloads: the download count. This is pretty useful for seeing how many people are downloading one of you submissions. However, I beleive it was determined that download count was not nearly as relevant as Favorites for scoring quality of assets. Many people download some assets to see what's in the package, but don't really feel they're terribly useful assets once they do. In such cases, the download count is not a good reflection of how popular the asset is.
Granting points for number of downloads would encourage submitters to submit several, more trivial, works with potentially misleading previews in order to gain more downloads. We'd much rather have fewer submissions that are more consolidated and higher quality. :)
Yeah, sadly there is no CC license with just the SA and no BY. I suspect the attribution is legally integral to the viral nature of Share Alike. Or at least it seems integral for enforcing the SA clauses, as if saying "share derivatives of this under the same terms" has little legal authority without a specific person to hold and enforce that authority.
Sara is the official mascot for OGA, but she is allowed to be used elsewhere since she is licensed CC-BY and GPL. The original character and artwork is by Mandi Paugh, which I believe was commissioned by bart, the site owner. There have since been many derivatives made. I'm not sure exactly how many there are total, but here are some of them.
A search for the keyword "sara" may also reveal a few others. Many submissions of sara in differing styles are the result of an art challenge a while back.
MikeeUSA has agreed to have the political and religious discussion removed from the original submission.
I have removed the REsubmission as it is now duplicate and abridged and have restored the original (sans-politics) submission.
I'll leave this thread here for a bit, but if it starts prompting discussions that hint at an impending flame war, I'll have to lock and archive it.
Anyone with questions or comments about this, please feel free to comment here (keep it civil) or you can Private Message me (less civility required. Be as rude as you want in the PM, no one will see my tears)

All three of those links are broken.
No problem. :)
Dead link?
This is more of a "show off your project" post. Do you mind if I move it to that forum?
some admins (don't know who) are workin on the code every once in a while, but no one new that I know of.
Those nid's correspond to the following submissions:
