The star map will look different depending on your latitude, and include different stars. Two good sites with star maps are https://staratlas.com/ and https://www.heavens-above.com/ . You can check their accuracy by comparing the night sky at your location with the data they provide.
I wish you the best of luck in your project, but I don't see how you could make that work with a flat earth and account for the fact we see different stars at different latitudes. I'd be very curious to see the final result.

Another reassuring insight into the growth of the Flat Earth Theory worldwide. In line with similar studies from other countries, a Datafolha Institute survey found that approximately 7% of the population of Brazil now follow some flavour of the Flat Earth Theory.
A highly polished hit piece. The irony being, that it will only fuel flat earth theory.
I think that would be difficult to implement well in SMF, and I'd be reluctant to implement it poorly.
With many people not using quote tags properly, or not using them at all, a functionality like this could lead to missed notifications if one were to rely on it. We could try and implement something along the lines of "if a quote tag is used and it explicitly references a post ID that belongs to you, we notify you in some way", but things would quickly get messy if we tried to encompass the different ways in which people engage with the forum.
I think your best bet is to use the "new replies" functionality. This would normally track replies to any threads you're active in (and with Parsfial's modifications you can subscribe/unsubscribe from threads). It's not exactly what you're asking for, but at least it can be expected to be reliable.
Without being too cynical, the only way this will happen is if you play a major role in creating the theme. A somewhat organic consequence of the model we're operating under means that doers get what they want much more often than askers.
My name is Ray and I love VR, bowling & science. I'm currently working on a Virtual Reality project that lets people fly around the Earth in its full glory... I think it would be awesome to give people a more visceral experience of what it's like to see our world from up there but I also want to make it as realist as possible.
