It was Prodigy, not Compuserve. I remember that Rush Limbaugh used to have Compuserve as an advertiser in his early days and would compare the other online services feature for feature.
In any event, what's the story on why Jim Robinson got banned from Prodigy? As I recall, that was a venture involving Sears and it never had the freedom offered by Compuserve. Yes, a prettier interface on the former but we hard-core geeks preferred the spartan command-line of CI$ we we referred to it.

It seems to me there might have been short stints on Compuserve and GEnie...wait..what was I talking about? This morning’s breakfast? I don’t remember...sigh.

That’s right. I probably wouldn’t remember either it if I hadn’t been there on Prodigy in those days. They really had a hard on for the White Water bulletin board.

In other news, there’s still a Prodigy? These are big 1994 names.

Try finding news for Prodigy on Google. They are so 20th century.
