2015 IEEE/ACM 12th working conference on mining software repositories, 2015•ieeexplore.ieee.orgStack Overflow (SO) is a popular question and answers (Q&A) platform related to software
development. An interesting characteristic of SO is that about half of its users makes only
one contribution to the platform in total. In this work, we study this group of users, which we
call one-day flies, and we investigate why they do not continue to contribute to the platform.
By achieving this understanding we can find ways to enable users to become more active.
