I don't find this surprising at all, in general.  The web forum model of 
interaction becomes inefficient in a hurry for people who deal with a large 
volume of messages.  You have to manually visit each forum to check for new 
messages and posting means entering text into a web browser (often slow and 
clumsy) and interacting with a web interface (also often slow.)  These aren't 
flaws with Jive specifically, but common to all web forum software.  It just 
doesn't scale well from a user perspective.
