 Recently, I was idly grepping around the `pidgin/main` repo to see where
 and how randomness was accessed. I came across a use of `/dev/random`
 (considered bad practice) in `pidgin/plugins/crazychat/cc_network.c`,
 which I mentioned on devel at .

 It turns out that no one knew Crazy Chat was in the main source, and many
 had never heard of it. Some doubted that it had been compiled by default
 for years. Searching `developer.pidgin.im` for it turns up almost nothing,
 just a couple bugs related to bad coding practice in the plugin.

 This seems to be the corresponding chat service: [http://www.crazy-
 chat.net/] They mention supporting access via IRC.

 The general consensus seemed to be that it should be removed. Thoughts? I
 doubt anyone uses it, and it seems completely dormant and abandoned.
