How do you resolve a time out/forced resignation?  My opponent timed out when pondering an important decision.

I would replay if it was early in the game and the result is still up in the air. Or one of you can concede if you feel like being chivalrous and the other player was far ahead. Or probably you can insist on getting the win because he timed out.

If you and your opponent can't work it out between you, ask the moderator of your division to decide.

The game was almost over. Log here. If I could empty BoM (2) and Ruins (2), then I won. I was up 1 to -2. I was trying to figure out if I could do it. We chatted a little bit about an earlier thing in the game. I continued to think. I don't think I had a guaranteed way with what was in my hand and was trying to figure out the best course of action.

We've decided to leave this up to ADK to adjudicate. The game had a lot more impact because if Heisenberg won one more game he would promote, but he just won our last game, so he's promoting regardless and I don't really care either way, although it does really annoy me that goko doesn't give any warning that it's about to boot you. Not even a "you have 5 seconds to play a card."

I also think there should be a league rule for what happens in this case.

I adjudicating "replay" since there wasn't a clear winner.
