Who is WebMedCentral.com?

In physics one has been able to deposit once papers on the web and receive on-line reviews for a long time.  In the medical/biological sciences this has not been true to the same extent.  Recently there is a new player:  webmedcentral.com.  I deposited my paper on the Atkinson-Shiffrin model there a few weeks ago since I gave up on publishing it in a regular journal - nobody wanted it.  Atkinson and Shiffrin were both invited to review it.

When I ask who is behind this effort I receive this answer:  

"Many thanks for your support to our venture. Please refer to our FAQs for answers to your questions. We have no affiliation to any major publishing house. We will soon have an advisory board for WebmedCentral. Please bear with us.

"Regards,

"The WebmedCentral Team"

I wonder who is WebMedCentral.com?
