I think someone in the thread said it was a copyright issue? Or something? Couldn't use the robotman name? So they ditched him and quietly reintroduced the same character with a different name.

TL;DR: "Robotman" was meant to be a toy that the syndicate started, with the strip being meant to promote it. The toy flopped, but the comic was a success, so they kept it around.

Eventually, the creator had to get rid of it since he didn't technically own Robotman itself.

The original Judge Alan Parker is the old guy who wrote a book and a movie. He's married to Katherine. Alan's son, Randy, is the current Judge Parker. Randy is married to April, who used to (maybe still does) work for the CIA. April is currently missing, and her father (the bald guy) who used to be an international arms dealer or something, is using his contacts to try to find her.

Sam Driver is a semi-retired lawyer who used to work with Alan. He and Abbey Spencer are super rich and breed horses and do other rich-people stuff. Their two adopted children are Neddy and Sophie, who are also super rich due to an inheritance from their real parents. For reasons that haven't been revealed yet, some shadowy group of villains is out to get Abbey.

Neddy has been working with (musician? movie star?) Godiva Danube to open up a clothes factory that will (probably illegally) employ only old people to save money. Up till now, Neddy's main problems have been Godiva's relationship issues with her (movie star? musician?) husband, Rocky Ledge and her own relationship issue with her employee, the guy they sold the caravan to, whose name I forget. But now, during an interview about the opening of the factory, it looks like the place has started falling apart due to shoddy construction.

Meanwhile, Sophie wanted Derek, who was already dating Honey. So Sophie became a cheerleader and took up music so she could get Derek to give her lessons as an excuse to spend time together. This led to her joining his band. They got a gig, and it turned out that Derek had invited Honey along to sell merchandise. This was all your typical teenage romantic drama, until the car crash. Honey managed to crawl from the wreckage, but Derek, Sophie and the other band member whose name I forget are all still missing. This seems to have something to do with the people who hate Abbey.

Ces wrote a blog post detailing the relevant plot points so far. It's not entirely accurate (notably, Ces seems to think Honey Ballinger is just some random chick that Sophie dislikes, rather than the girl Sophie blatantly stole her current boyfriend from). Ces is the new writer, though, so it's reasonable to think that whatever misconceptions he might have are pretty much going to be in the story now, so whatevs.

This will get you up to about where Ces took over. Tiggum's summed up most of what's happened since.

As far as I know, this has not yet been revealed. There is speculation that she's the lady that April was implied to have had thrown off a cruise liner. (Literally. They were at sea. We saw a hat floating on the water and the lady wasn't seen again.)
