Monero never had fork solely to prevent ASIC miners.
No, but Monero does hard fork earlier than scheduled because of ASICs. Case in point:

The next Monero upgrade has been scheduled for block 1788000 in about 4 weeks. This is earlier than expected. Source: moneromooo on #monero
Yes it is earlier, but not sure if is earlier then it should be by schedule. So far in past they were always delayed. This was a pleasant surprise. We will get blockchain size almost halved.
And probably lots of other goodies. Usually developers meetings right before protocol upgrades change from every two week to once a week. Binaries have to be out at least a week ahead. So we will have exciting weeks and soon days to come. Hi guys, I got a private msg on monero.org stating I'm a lotery winner of 5xmr. There is link in the msg. Probably a fishing mail. I got it in mail too. Anyone else got it?
Owner of that site is unknown. But they quite fast added those ASIC fork coins half a year ago. So could be linked with them.
