I dunno, not wanting to do an entire history in a CS seems fine to me. But then I come from the school of thought that I'm more interested in a character when they don't tell me how juveniley tragic their backstory is (because it always is) right from the start. But also I'm petty and all my history sections on a profile are intentionally vague and surrounded by adjectives and sentences that add nothing but length. Kind of like every essay done last minute. 

Don't get me wrong I understand why some people want a history section since it shows the RPer put a modicum of thought into the character beyond the name age and who they want to fuck but I don't really see the point in needing fucking essays about their favorite Christmas memory as a child or whatever. 

But also I think super strict and specific character sheets are bad so maybe it's me being shitty.

I usually just combine personality with history and just put it down as biography. At the minimum I request a paragraph so I can see someone can actually write a cohesive sentence rather than just jotting down 'male' '21' 'Arkansas' to standard questions but other than that I typically don't read it unless I wanna sarcastically poke fun at the cliché's in a character.
