It was interesting when Monero did their first hard fork for "ASIC resistance" reasons.

I happened to be paying attention that day, and there was a brief period where the network was small because everyone's miners couldn't participate until they were updated. My little single-GPU miner was suddenly rather effective because I had it back up immediately while the difficulty was very low. These days I don't bother turning it on, but when the scheduled forks occur there's probably still some opportunity for the little guys.
