 * Dear **phoenix1977**,
 * Yes, all pipes will be deleted when you disable the plugin, because its data 
   table will be deleted from the database, just like many other plugins. It is 
   to return a “clean” WordPress database, in the sad case when users don’t want
   Pipes on their system anymore :”(
 * That’s why you need to make use of the <<**Export Pipe**>> button to save all
   your working pipes each time you want to deactivate it. Just like with any other
   system, backup is always advised before changing anything.
 * With best regards.
