In case you don't read your PMs Peach:
An appeal to your decision.
Why I think Visual Novels should be classified as video games within these forums:
1. They are legally defined as and considered in the wider video game community by both developers and gamers as videogames.
2. They consist of functions that define a game such as as the ability to fail/die and alternatively the ability to succeed, the ability to progress through it and unlock certain features (such as even more choices along existing story paths, or even extra story paths, not to mention extras such as concept art that you can view afterwards), providing the motivation effect of gameplay.
3. They contain a combination of sound (voice acting and music) and still images with text that you don't get in other interactive story mediums.
4. They contain a level of story interactivity that can't reasonably fit into any other medium (such as CYOA books, with the physical confines of the book acting as limitations on the interactivity).
If you still won't reconsider could I at least get a valid explanation?

I don't think you got much chance anyways, they seem decided on the issue.
