Of course. I'm not really sure, but ChipMixer campaign members are probably still the most merited users here on Bitcointalk. Don't forget this!:

- Members in the campaign have received 2.7% of all merit given on the forum Shocked

(1666/61278)

I made this overview earlier this month. At that time, 19,581 Merits were received by ChipMixer campaign participants (including DarkStar_), and 291,791 Merit had been sent. That makes it 6.71%.
This is as I expected:

I expect the percentage of total merit in this campaign to keep going up. Currently, many users with old accounts have some sMerit, which partially goes to their alt-accounts or bad posts. Long term, once they run out of sMerits, it's all up to Merit sources, and they won't give anything to bad posts.

Note that part of the increase comes from new participants, who often started with more Merit than the ones they replaced, and a small increase in number of participants.

I don't want to be a bum, but ChipMixer does have the largest campaign with over 50 participants Cheesy

That's probably 5 to 6 times more than the average list of every other campaign.

Not to mention that almost all those participants are fresh blood, where the majority is extremely active on the forums. And not just that, a lot of the 1% merited users are also participants https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusers

All those factors easily add up to make the campaign participants one of the most merited users on the forum. If you took out DarkStar_, Loyce, a few other big names, and maybe reduced the number to double the average number of every other campaign, it'd look slightly more "normal".

Like I said I don't want to undermine DarkStar or his ability to pick great users, because that's still true, but I had to say this.
