A short notice: The reasons I have chosen to use my own forum are quite simple:

Themeforest support threads are not searchable. Since most questions are asked over and over again a searchable forum will greatly enhance your experience since the answer to your question might already be there.
Second Reason: people can’t respond to each other at themeforest to help each other out, which often happens on the support forums.
