I consider active to have a post within the past month. My best guess for this is either the Mafia master post, or the Counting game. Any others I'm not aware of?

Yes, on webDip it's definitely the "Last person to post wins." thread.

On our sister website, vDip, the similar "Winning" thread blows that record out of the water:

Why do we have a sister website? It looks the exact same?

So it is true, but it actually isn't so obvious since the new Forum is a bit older than the "Last person to post wins." thread. The "Welcome to the Game Requests Area!" thread, for example, is actually older and could easily be bumped at any point:

vDip is more dedicated to variants than webDip. It's also in some ways closer to the original phpDiplomacy/webDiplomacy, which adds to its popularity with veteran players. The fact that we have sister websites is made possible because Kestas made phpDip/webDip open source.

You know, I'm not entirely sure it does have to be that one ;)
