If you were going to drop phpBB, what would you replace it with?

Oh.
Writing my own is an option I put on the table because one of the routes I'm considering is switching to the Laravel framework, or something comparable. If I go with such a framework, I'm going to have to integrate the forum system into the framework to preserve continuity (which is one of the main reasons for the redesign, and is not negotiable). I'm also wanting to mod the user login/registration system a decent amount, allowing for things like social media logins and etc. The time and headaches put into integration and modification could probably be spent just as well writing a ground-up BBS that comes native with the features I'd like to have.
does anybody remember CTBBS, which was being made for MFGG3?Keep in mind, that is just one option. Another option is integrating the forum system (be it same old phpBB, or something else like MyBB) into a simple framework I could write specially for MFGG3.
