So, I was just minding my business today, hopping around worlds, when I
hopped into mine... and I found a tourist there just minding his own
business. Normally, this would be fine, as tourists are people too.
But, my world is private, and doesn't have tourist access enabled. So,
this was very odd that a tourist was there. The tourist's name was
"gary", he was located about 20M up, near GZ. I checked my rights
dialog to make sure that tourists had no access, and confirmed that only
three people can get into my world, none tourists. I tried ejecting the
poor fellow only to get "No such user." back from my world server.

So, I went to the world server logs... and this is where it got
interesting. No "gary" had entered my world... But, looking up his
session number lead me to this section of my world log:

DISCONNECTED

So, this "gary" tourist had connected, but been shunned by my world
server... three times. So, what was he doing so high near GZ? This is
my question to you.

1. No tourists are allowed in my world period.
2. He wasn't at GZ. (where people drop in).
3. He had been disconnected by the world server several times, and never
did he "enter" the world.
4. This isn't a problem with my browser, as a magsbot I logged in saw
the tourist as well.

If this was 3.6, I would've questioned the citizen SDK, among other odd
tools that you probally have.

Some worlds have been going over their user limit... AWI might want to check
it out
