Google the very first "word" in this cipher (bevqqfh), and you’ll find a whole blog of similar looking posts: http://jhbbv.blogspot.com/
My opinion? It’s just a random sequence of letters. The frequency distribution is nearly flat, and IoC (0.038) is a perfect match for a random string. Spaces don’t look right either, or it’s not English. If there was an interesting story behind it, I would dig deeper. But at this point I’m inclined to think it’s just some sort of a spam bot, that was programmed to generate a random text that looks sort of like a real message, then attempt to post it to various websites, and then check if it was indeed posted without any modifications/censoring, and if it stays up and for how long. In short, automated search for good targets for spamming later on?

I agree with daikon, especially after that blog find. I have no idea why people do this stuff – random gibberish spam generators – but there must be money in it somehow, LOL.

When I look at the times of the popular posts they all have "Posted by bnsjh at 00:11". So a multitude of messages of several 100’s of characters have been posted at exactly the same time, adding more weight to daikon’s random hypothesis. Did you know that Google likes to do stuff like this?
