This leads me to believe that this code was generated using some other method. I think this falls under the Vigenere Cipher (Polyalphabetic cipher), where a keyword is used to shift the letters.

That is what I originally believed it to be as well, but the original post does say that it is a single letter-letter substitution. If it hadn't said that, I would've thought that the coder had just used one of the online enigma machine-like applets to write the sequence.
