I don't believe in the long-term survival of an entity that refuses to change with the times out of deference to 'The Creator'. The forum appears to be full of fanatics who cite 'The Creator's' wishes as if they provided sure protection from obsolescence. Do you think 'The Creator' can peer in to the future?
Who is this "entity" that refuses to change and worships "the creator"? A few crackpot forum members? Bitcoin is an active project with an active dev team, and if you have good ideas for improvements you're welcome on the mailing list.

Apart from the basic assumptions (coin generation rate, max number of coins) everything is open to discussion, including protocol improvements (if backwards/forwards compatible). Big changes have been made before. It's not like it's set in stone and the only thing that happens there is worshipping Satoshi's code...
