How long do you give a missing owner?

How long do you give an owner who hasn't been around, or communicated with you, before you let another owner take over his team?

Here are some details for the hypothetical scenario: this owner has shown an average amount of activity. Maybe one or two forum posts a week; exports about half the time; same thing across all his leagues.he's in three online leagues and is a member of the OOTP forum; according to data at all these locations, his last forum login and last export, in every league and forum, was on January 1st. After waiting one month, you email him on February 1st, asking what's up (he has been included in league emails this whole time). He has not shown up anywhere or said anything to you, this whole time, and you've looked for him as thoroughly as you could.

Let's say that your league has no strict codified rules on participation, other than that it's required; there are no set time deadlines.

How long do you wait for a response? How many times do you try to directly contact him? At what point do you start advertising for a new owner?
