It used to matter, but from my experience it really doesnt matter to stay logged out for 6hrs anymore. You'd probably make the same amount of bonus turns from logging in every 3 hrs.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

An old system required you NOT sign back in for that entire 6hrs. Now that is no longer the case. As long as you sign in at the 3hr/6hr mark, you get the bonus turns.

Just a note, the bonus turns with the new formula are a significant increase in turns over what we had before. With the maximum claimed it comes to about 1920 turns for the set, vs about 1820 or so before. I find that I don't ususally start playing until I have at least 360 turns, or 24 hours into the game. Since I don't want to remember to log in every 6 hours druing that period just to get bonus turns, I use a browser refresher that is available as an app in Firefox, called "reload every".

cheater getafix :P . I usually just login on 2nd day with 366 turns, meaning that I have lost out on about 6*6 - 6 = 30 turns.

They haven't purpled me yet, but you never know :) I've been pushing the limits on DR strategy (abuse) too.
