Of course it's not required, but it helps to make your character more likeable and easier to understand. Like I've said in this, I enjoy writing so this is merely part of my own system for creating new characters, but if it can help others, that's good as well.

Outline:
It doesn't matter if this is just a few words or a couple of paragraphs, but first and foremost you should decide on is the who/what/where/why/when, and slowly expand from there.
Exactly Bruce.

Just thought that should be emphasized a bit. I have a mostly fleshed-out background for ALL my characters in every game I play...but I'm weird.
That's good, but you might want to leave somethings open. Easier to expand upon the character's personality and traits - if that's what you want to do - over the course of the RP.

this may seem like a really stupid question, but ....
I am a old fan of many RP games and love developing a background and character story line. After reading the Lore and RP forum, where do we post the background and story line of our character?

You can either write a fan-fic about them, or hop into an RP and give a brief rundown of their history in your intro post.
As for just posting a bio? I think there is a thread buried around here somewhere. Or you could make your own to contain all your character bios. The reason you don't see too many is that they sorta clutter the forums, and most people use their userpages here or on Wowpedia....
