Topic: Check that at least one admin exists

This has been suggested before, but I can't find the threads sad
Anyway, the idea is to stop problems like this or this. My suggestion involves 2 changes:
1. No deleting admins. Just like with bans, you need to take the person down to a moderator to be able to ban them.
2. Have a check when changing status. Count the number of administrators, and if it's 1, throw an error.

Re: Check that at least one admin exists

Consider it done.

Edit: One problem. This will require additions to the language packs sad

Yeah, I guess I'll do that.

Instead of counting administrators, I just removed the user group drop-down for administartors viewing their own profile.
